Vortec... Sure. Just be sure you get the right one. The Fords of the 1990's tended to use that big 460. The comparable 454 wasn't as common in Chevy. If the Chevy you look at is 460/7.4L, it's a good option. If it's a 350/5.7L the power is marginal. Chevy phased a 6.0L (that's about 365 but nobody refers to this engine by anything other than "Six Liter" or "6.0") into their chassis around 2000 and it's a very viable choice. All those Chevy engines are called Vortec. 6.0 or 7.4 is OK as far as I'm concerned. From 5.7L to 6.0L doesn't sound like much, but it's a whole different generation with a major difference in performance.

The finest engineering's a bust if the family can't work the floor plan.
