I've been looking for some Vortec's out there and found a few.
There's a auto parts supplier (30 min from where I live) that has a bunch of brand new Vortec's from GM. They are complete, minus cover, PS pump, alt and mechanical fan.
They have in stock:
- LR4 (4.8) 310-325 Hp, 285-305 lb ft
- LM7 (5.3) 285-305 Hp, 325-335 lb ft
I'm concern with the torque that will be transmitted to the H55F I own. I think the 2F produces around 180-200 lb ft. The LM7 will be ideal because of less Hp, but torque is higher. The other difference is the price ($900 between the two of them).
Should I buy the 4.8 because of less torque and not to have future clutch problems with the H55F?
Any suggestions and or recomendations will be much appreciate it.
I'm trying to close the deal in a few days.
