What temperature does a 1997 Chevy vortec 350 motor run best at?
195 to 210 is the best running temperature
Do you have to change the cam in your vortec 350 to run it carberated?
no the cam remains the same,
Why does your 1996 vortec 350 run for 2 seconds then die?
it dies because you need alot of battery for that
Can you replace a 350 vortec with a 305 vortec in a 1996 silverado?
Yes you can. There are a few sensors that are different but after swapping them over it will run. The mounts and bolt pattern are the same. You will certainly be stepping back as far as performance and power goes. Not only does it obviously have fewer cubic inches but the heads lack the flow that the 350 vortec heads have, The 305 Vortec heads also do not have the famous Vortec heart shaped combustion chamber as the 350 heads. The 305 head also has smaller valves and smaller runners. You can also swap the other way and place a 350 vortec in where a 305 was. I have personally done these swaps with no troubles at all.
1990 gmc siera can you put a 1996 vortec 350 in it and if so is the cam in a vortec just a good as a RV cam?
You can put the Vortec in it if you have the wiring and ecm to run it. or you could use the Vortec heads and an aftermarket intake and really wake up your engine. The vortecs use a roller cam.
What is the correct operating temperature for a big block Chevy?
180, degrees. The new vortec motors, after 2000, run at 210.
Can you run an early 90s 350 ion a truck that a 350 vortec in it?
Yes you just have to put on your intake manifold off the newer engine, change over all of your sensors and put in the distributor off of the newer engine.
Can you put 1980-1985 350 heads and intake on a 1996 350 CHEVY engine?
yes but most 96 engines had vortec heads and intake manifold which are way better and if its fuel injected you might have some driveability problems it will still run but might not run smoothly
Would a radiator for a v6 cause a 350 engine to run hot?
probably
Will a 350 bored 60 over run hotter then normal?
No, it shouldn't. Something else is causing it to run hot.
96 Chevy truck 350 vortec doesn't run over 160 degrees and has a 195 degree thermostat?
Sounds like the thermostat is stuck open. Try a new one.
How good are vortec heads?
You won't find better iron, readily available Chevy heads. Had my set for years. Had 1.60 stainless Ferrara Ex valves put in, so I could run nos. 150. Put in beehive springs good for 550 lift. Done deal. 350/vortec/ air gap/650 DP/HOT Chevy hyd roller. maybe 425 hp. And all the OLD Chevy stuff fits! Headers, water pump, power strng, distributors, Vortec heads and intake wil fit on any 350 Chevy. Best value for SBC of all time..
