honda actually developed the high swirl combustion chamber , from what i have read . way back in the mid 1970'S . their " CVCC" ( compound vortex combustion chamber ) . it was the optional engine on the civic i know , and maybe the accord as well . the CVCC was 100 C.C.'S smaller in displacement than the standard civic engine , if i remember right . and the 22R that toyota brought out for the 1981 model pickups , celica , and corona had a heart-shaped high swirl chamber . they changed it from the semi-hemispherical chamber that the 20R engine had . a hemispherical chamber burns more efficiently but a high swirl chamber is better for emission control from what i understand
Bought my 97 k1500 short bed new. Has 223,000 miles. Has some rust and normal wear. Still runs strong and looks better than the newest Chevys. I just purchased a used Sierra extended cab a few years ago, a 2016. Nice truck but I still can't let go of the 97 Chevy.
Well years later my 1998 c1500 5.0 has 411,000 on it and a new 4l60e at 290.000 and a alternator. Engine still runs amazing with just basic oil changes just started using synthetic oil 👍
A little more time spent on intake gasket coolant sealing would have made it legendary. Instead, they leaked coolant internally and externally, and became known for cracked cylinder heads
Finally the 1996 vortec engine introduccion
Nice video!! I had a 1996 suburban with the 5.7 vortec V8 and it sure was a beast of a motor!
You're welcome.
My favourite engine to carb swap ❤

My 4l60e on my 98 just gave out 356k miles all original
Wow that's good they are strong transmissions.
I replaced my radiator last year it had the original barcode and date 12/97 that’s crazy
