how much torque for a Chevy Z71 350 vortec engine valve cover
That would be the 5.7L / 350 Vortec.
255 HP from the factory.
270 hp
mine gets 10. 97 2500 express
Absolutely
With the Throttle Body injection and a TBI intake from Edelbrock for vortec heads yes it will work. If you mean using the vortec injection with the TBI electronics then no it will not work.
NO there is not. The timing on that engine is computer controlled and it REQUIRES an engine scanner to set the timing. A timing light will not work.
As far as a direct bolt in NO. But if you have the smarts and the know how, you can put anything in there.
It will fit right in, But the problem is that the 97 computer system will not hook up to the 93 engine. therefore the 93 engine WON'T RUN and the transmission won't work in the 97 anymore. The 97 MUST have the VORTEC engine installed in it. Then everything will WORK RIGHT.
A V8 vortec could be either a 350 (5.7 liter) or a 305 (5.0 liter), it will say right when you open the hood, i have a 305, the truck is a 97 Chevy 1500.
YES, if you know what you are doing. You will need the complete engine and transmission wiring harness and computer plus the fuel pump for the 5.3L engine. The wiring harness and computer on the 97 will NOT work.
