I'm not sure if there is anyone running around in here with a complete Vortec swap. There are a few with the LS series motors, but very few mention the Vortec's.

They are an ok system, but IMO fall far short of the later LS (due to the mechanical design changes to the basic engine) and the injection system of the Vortec's seems a bit fragile to me, the poppet valves or whatever are mentioned as a constant source of headaches.

Every system has it's quirks though, so while the Vortec system may have flaws, it's still much better than a carb. :)

Someones gotta have a link to a writeup on one of these swaps.
