That's the same engine they put in the Blazers in '88. It replaced the chevy 250. It's based off the Vortec 350ci design, it's a solid engine. Should go for a long time if treated right.

i remember pulling 3 hottubs with this thing, they were all on theyre side and we had to drive through part of downtown st. louis, what a site!

That was my ex-girlfriends first car. Hers had over 300,000 miles before she got rid of it. It's amazing how long some engines can last with proper maitanence and care. My dad had an old CJ-5 when I was younger with an AMC 304 that lasted over 400,000 miles before he rebuilt it.

i hear the GM 4-cylinder called the "iron duke" that was made in the 70's was supposed to las forever. Alot of mechanics tell me it is argued to be one the most reliable engines ever made.
yay for GM engineering
