Want this question answered?
You can put the Vortec in it if you have the wiring and ecm to run it. or you could use the Vortec heads and an aftermarket intake and really wake up your engine. The vortecs use a roller cam.
Regardless of the block, you have to use Vortec heads to use a Vortec intake.
Assuming that you would use the intake and the injectors and the computer from the 2000 and they are both vortec.
If you attempt to put a vortec engine into a vehicle with a NON-vortec computer, you'll have more problems than you care to deal with.
you can as long as you use your TBI heads if you want to use the vortec heads with TBI you will need a special intake manifold or a carb manifold with a adapter to mount your throttle body to the carb manifold heres some more info TBI heads will mount to the vortec block TBI intake manifold has 12 bolts vortec intake manifold has 8 bolts
Yes an 89 350 will bolt up to original Vortec heads. However, Vortec heads have an 8 bolt inatke manifold that is different from the standard 89' intake. Its worth mentioning that the intake manifolds changed in 1986. Prior to 1986 all intake manifolds for a sbc had 12 bolts. These 12 bolts all secured the intake to the head at the same angle. In 1986, or primarily in 1987 the intakes 4 center bolts were changed to a steeper angle. With the introduction of the vortec head came a new 8 bolt intake eliminating the 4 center bolts. If you plan to use Vortec heads on any V8 be it a 305,327,350 or bigger, you will need a Vortec intake manifold as well. You can also buy an after market intake to run a carburetor on a set of Vortec heads in place of the TBI injection.
I am assuming that this is not a vortec engine?.......If it is a vortec, they use different angle bolts securing the intake to the heads..........and you will have to get an aftermarket intake to run a carb........If it is not a vortec engine..........go to a junk yard and search out a cast Iron unit form a van..........they are most common........Of course it will be of the spread bore pattern and if you choose to use a holley you will have to use an adapter plate..........If not, a quadrajet will bolt right to it..............
On this engine I recommend you use an AC/Delco filter.
No! The angle of the intake bolts are not the same. Also The vortec heads will make more hp so you probably will not want to use standard Heads..
yes actually you can, its a bit costly tho. several performance auto parts manufactures carry the carborated intake that will fit on your 1995 or newer vortec motor.
89 OCTANE
yes you should be able to do it as long as the bolts line up witch they should the only thing that makes it a vortec is the chambers in the heads plus
