| − | The Vortec | + | The newer Vortec era blocks (1996-up) have a slightly shorter bore at the bottom, nearest the cam tunnel, as shown below left (on the right is a c/n 010 block). This isn't a problem in most cases, but if a stroker crank is being considered, this should be looked into to be sure there'll be no issues due to the lack of piston support at BDC. |
