Cavi with 200,000+ Original Miles
Thursday, June 23, 2005 6:48 AM
Does anyone know where I can get some info on this engine, a guy at work said something about his 1995 Cavi original engine having 200+ thousand miles on it, He gave me the VIN, I decoded it, the engine code is 4 which is a 2.2 LN2 engine, I did a quick search and discovered that it is a Vortec engine. Can anyone confirm this?

bull@!#$ lol.

i have an LN2 in my car and there's nothing vortech about it. straight up low compression pushrod GM 4 cylinder dude. now, if you take care of them, they last a long long time. hell I've got almost 160k on mine and it's "heavily" modded (heavily modded in this case being everything i can do to it without boost or nitrous)






I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.

the engine in the trucks has a little more torque and is 90 degree mounted im guessing a little more power due to not having as strict emission requirements with trucks

so I'm gathering that the engine they put in the S-10 (LN2) and the Cavi are the same, they just call it VORTEC in the S-10 because the rest of the trucks have vortex?
