Here is an intake off of my 93,4.3 engine.

Notice the intake bolts are at an angle.......

Just like a V/8 Vortec engine. The intake bolts on a Vortec V/6 go straight up down...

Man HighwayStar - that's a clean Chevy...! is it just clean inside...?i'm surprised it has 60/40 doors too...

'Vortec' engines also used 'multi-point' fuel injection, and not TBI's (Throttle Body Injection)... they also say 'Vortec' on the valve covers...

i don't think they put the Vortec V6's in G-vans until '93 or so, and i'm fairly certain they stuck with TBI'd V8's through the end of the run...


when things go bad, you just gotta keep on keepin' on...

Actually the center bolt valve covers where put on GM engines across the board.(there answer to there leaky 4 bolt design).
My 89 GMC is a throttle body van.Non vortec.
I also had a 95 GMC pickup there that was also a 5.7 throttle body engine.Again non Vortec
GM treated the Vortec like a performance option.They put a bunch of them in S10 pick ups,Blazers and a bunch of cars.
I am pretty sure of you had the right sales man you could have ordered a Vortec engine in any of there trucks vans.allot of people just opted not to order for what ever reason.
I have an 05 Extreme Blazer here that has a Vortec 4.3 in it.This engine also has an aluminum oil pan on it.It is TBI injected......
I am by no means a Vortec expert.I just have owned enough GMs over the past years to know the difference
