  • I6 Vortec engine

    Anyone have more info on the I6 Vortec4200 engine that pushes 270hp?

    Are you talking about one is a camaro? I have an 02 trailblazer, yes, I like it alot. No mods yet. I have been busy with the GTP. It is so new that there isn't much out there. I hear Gibson is working on headers though. I might work on the intake when I get time. Probably not much more than that.

        They did do a TT 400Hp TrailBlazer....it was simply awesome.....The 4.2 I6 is rather respectable too at 265 Hp i believe...It's been said to be one of GM's best engine's ever

          GM has been developing 6 cylinder DOHC engines for Cadillacs and trucks but the real question is, will the I6 fit in a Camaro? Muahahahahahha!!! :D

            the Cadillacs with Northstar's are 32 Valve DOHC V8's.....very potent and efficient

              I highly doubt it, that engine is very long and very tall.

              Would I would give for that TT setup though. Talk about sleeper! :D

                I can fix the tall part, get a dry sump oil system. Once you have the cash to spend on a new engine and all the components to put it in, you'll have enough to buy a dry sum oil system for it. As for length, all I can say is back that firewall up about 4 inches and pray for a miracle.

                  well u could probably fit a nice I6 In a Thirdgen. I know mine as a a$$ load of room and I would love a 4.2L I6 or better yet a 4.3 Vortec V6 out of a Cyclone :-D With the stock TT setup it was I belive 300 to 320 Hp somewhere around there I know it's 0-60 was 5.9 seconds :-D

                    I6 wouldn't fit in our bays but twin turbo v8s do? I think an i6 would fit

                      A V8 is still 4 cylinders long. Think about it like this. A I6 would fit in our cars if a V12 would. Just a thought. aAlso, the Cyclone trucks were not 300hp stock, and they were single turbo. But that 4.2 vortec is simply amazing. Basically the same hp as the late LT1's. I have seen the engine bay, and it looks you can get another like 1300hp out of a cold air induction system. Stuff looked very restrictive. Would be interesting to see one with cold air a header and full exhaust. :D

                        i understand the length.. thus i threw in a turbo setup to a v8... plus a v8 is a little longer than a v6.. just a thought
