the ecm is the vechicles computer and is located under the hood.
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.
To swap a 5.3L Vortec engine for a 5.7L Vortec engine, you'll need to remove the existing engine and transmission, disconnecting all electrical connections, hoses, and mounts. The new 5.7L engine should be compatible with the existing transmission; however, you may need to adjust the engine mounts and possibly the wiring harness for compatibility. After installing the 5.7L engine, ensure all connections are secure, and update the engine control module (ECM) if necessary for proper tuning. Finally, check all fluids, and start the engine to verify it runs smoothly.
Is there a way to bypass the ECM in a 1993 chevy s10 4.3 vortec
ECM stands for engine control module / COMPUTER
The 2001 model of the Light-Duty Silverado 1500, had an option of four engine sizes; a 6.0L Vortec V8 engine, a 4.3L Vortec V6, a 4.8L Vortec V8 or a 5.3L Vortec V8. The Heavy-Duty 1500HD comes with three engine options, these are 6.0L Vortec V8, 8.1L Vortec V8 and a 6.6L Duramax V8
The vortec has bigger pistons
Look at the intake manifold. A vortec engine has 8ea. All the others have 12ea.
As far as fitting in the truck YES. Hear's the problem that you will have. First it won't even run because the wireing harnesss and computer system / ECM. Engine controll module was designed for a VORTEC engine. none of the wireing harness will hook up to the 92 350 engine. To make the 92 engine run correct with NO TROUBLES. You will have to have a 92 ECM / computer system and a 92 model transmission and the intire engine wireing harness for a 92 model. You will also have to change the fuel pump. Your best bet would be to put a VORTEC ENGINE from 1996 to 1999 back in it.
its programmed into the ECM. you would need a reprogrammed one or have yours reprogrammed. some ECM's had chips you could change. depends on the model ECM though.
The 4.3 Vortec engine never had a carburetor.
" vortec " is a title that GM uses on some of their engines
A vortec 5.7 is a lt1 based engine.
