ratsun73 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 ok the motor is out of a 93 blazer so i don't think is has vortec heads i will do some more research. Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Vortec came out in the 80s and was in 88-95 Blazers. Its just a V8 with two cylinders cut off. To cut down on V6 vibrations, the added a balance shaft in 1992. Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 vortec wasnt till later 90's, not all 4.3's are vortec, 93 isnt Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hah, tell that to Chevrolet. They first called it a Vortec 4.3 in 1985. You may be too young to remember that. The best Vortec heads are supposedly 1996 and newer. Quote Link to comment
