Attention Drivers with Vortec Motors!!!
If you have skimmed through the rules, you may or may not have noticed this new rule for Vortec motors...
§607.3 Vortec Heads. Vortec is a trademarked name for a line of piston engines for General Motors trucks. The name first appeared in 1988 on a 4.3 L V6 that used "vortex technology" to create a vortex inside the combustion chamber, creating a better air/fuel mix. These head have been paired with a “Marine” style intake in the past.
§607.3.1 Legality. The only intake manufactured by GM that will be considered legal is the following:
GM Part#: 12496820
This is a low rise dual plane with EGR provision and dual carburetor bolt pattern.
We've been receiving lots of phone calls about new motors coming into the series with Vortec heads.....MAKE SURE THE PART IS LEGAL!!!
Any questions, contact Rick Collins, 484-368-6801, or myself, 267-767-4923.
Thanks!
Over the counter overkill
You go down to your JASPER dealer, buy that VORTEC HEADED GM PRODUCTION motor and I will put it in my car and when I pass tech with the roller cam that goes in that PRODUCTION motor I will gladly buy it!.......:applause:
I never said VORTEC heads were not a GM over the counter head.
GM has lots of goodies OVER THE COUNTER , so that would be legal?.....:D
As far my firebird, pontiac from 77-81 came with Pontiac, Chevy, and Olds(till 79) motors in them....;)
