How does Chevy vortec work?

The word 'vortec' is the name of the cylinder heads used in Vortec Model engines in the year 96'+ The engines that use the Vortec cylinder heads are the 4.3L Vortec, 5.0L Vortec, 5.7L Vortec, and 8.1L Vortec. They were only put on Gen I small blocks. If they are any other size Chevy engines and still retain the Vortec name then it's purely a marketing name, the same goes is it is later than a Gen I engine. For example the new 4.2L I6 from GM retains the name Vortec, but it does not actually use Vortec heads as these heads were only made for OHV engines, and the I6 is an OHC engine. The Vortec heads are based on the LT1 and LT4 head after they were discontinued along with their reverse flow cooling design. It is simply an effect made in the head similar to a vortex to better atomize the fuel and air intake charge when entering the combustion chamber, it is not a different type of motor.

What is the cylinder compression on a 5.7L vortec?

The ratio is 9.5.1 in the 350 vortec. Doing a compression test you should not have any below 100 psi and all should be similar to each other.


What could cause a 97 Chevy 350 vortec to have a miss fire on cylinder 7 but has a good plug and the cap and rotor are fine?

you may have the same problem my 350 tbi had. the cam lobe was worn excessively causing a valve not to function at all. and yes it can be one lobe on the cam worn and the other lobes on the shaft can be perfectly fine.


Will a motor out of a 92 Chevy 1500 work in a 96 Chevy 2500 Both are 5.7 one is throttle body one is VORTEC?

No it will not. The 96 vortec has a crankshaft sensor and alot of other sensors on the engine that is required so the transmission will work that will not interchange with the 92 engine. Even the fuel pump would have to be changed. You must put a VORTEC engine back in the 96 so everything will work correctly.

What are the differences in Chevy small blocks 1970-1990?

The shortblocks are pretty much the same, other than switching the dipstick over to the opposite side, around 87. The same year, they redesigned the cylinder heads. Changed their angle, and configuration. That was the first generation vortec. A different intake manifold is required, along with self aligning rocker arms.
