Todays teardown scratches the carnage itch many of you have! I wanted to do something simple, and something new to the channel. This engine fit the bill!
This L31 5.7L and L30 5.0L Vortec engine was GM's staple full size truck and van engine in the late 90's. Introducted for the 1996 model year, it had some new features over the old TBI engines including a spider injection system and different heads. This all iron V8 made 255hp and 330tq for the 350. GM replaced this engine in the truck when the OBS body style was replaced with the NBS in 1999/2000 however kept using this engine in the savanna and express vans until the 2003 model year.
If you're wondering why i'm doing this: I own and run a full service auto salvage yard and part of our model is dismantling blown engines to salvage the good parts to resell. Our business name is Importapart but we do domestic vehicles too.
As always I appreciate all of the comments, feedback, and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!
Will there be a midweek video? You'll have to wait and see!
