just like it says...what other vehicles came with them besides the birds and camaros?

 

vettes, gto, gm trucks (5.3, 6.0, etc.. same family), cts-v, ssr, trailblazer ss, grand prix gxp has an ls4 as does the monte carlo/impala SS (fwd though), ... I think that's it for the US available vehicles.

 

You can find an overview here....

arent those vortecs in the gm trucks??...was wonderin if i could call the junkyard and see what i could come up with

 

yes.

 

The newer vortecs are ls based engines. wikipedia is very helpful. Friend of mine has a carb'd 6.0L out of a truck in his iroc.

 

what would be the disadvantages of that from the ls1? i know the displacement is larger which is better but yeah..whats the bad stuff and good stuff of those vortecs..and can i put like an LS6 intake on it too?

 

The bad news is you can use the truck oil pan, dipstick, tube, or oil pickup. The truck intake sits about 6 inches higher than the ls1/6 manifold, so hood clearance may be a problem. Accessories may also be a problem, but I dont think I've seen anything concretely confirming that. (I'll let you know in 6 months when mine is sitting in the car.) On the outside, the blocks are the same, so the ls6 manifold will mount up tho.

 

here we have LS1 on every thing since 99 camaro,fireberd,corvette,lumina SS,caprice SS,LTZ, blazer SS also the vortech engineson the trucks and for 07 caprice and lumina came with LS2

you go to any junkyard in here and you will find plenty
