For most vehicles, the type of engine within the vehicle can be found listed in the owner's manual under specifications. However, if this is missing, do not fear. If the vehicle is older than 1995 and has a stock engine, the chances of it being a vortec 4.3L are nearly 100%.

How do you identify a vortec?

A Vortec engine can be identified by its distinctive design features and specific engine codes. Typically, Vortec engines have a unique cylinder head design with a higher compression ratio and improved airflow, often featuring raised letters spelling "Vortec" on the engine cover. Additionally, you can check the engine's VIN or look for the specific engine codes, such as the LQ4 or LQ9 for LS-based Vortec engines, to confirm its identity. Finally, Vortec engines are commonly found in GM trucks and SUVs from the late 1990s onwards.
