So... I'm browsing Craigslist for Z06's (I have a weakness for them) and this pops up. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

... I'm pretty sure Chevrolet didn't make an LS1 that said "Vortec" on it...

None the less, the guy is asking $14,500 USD for it... chime in! Which will you choose?

Nice Price or Crack Pipe?

Looks to be a clean C10, worth 10-12k with a small block and a vortec swap 2-3k. you could probably take it for 12,500-13,000 cash.

it's possible it is an ls1 just with the vortec intake manifold on it.

that's a clean looking truck. As for the engine... I'm not sure about the Vortec branding. But, I can tell you that the alternator is in the same place on my ls7.

Aren't they the same blocks, just different materials and displacements?

Yeah, pretty much. I'm really no expert tho. That's what I mean by not knowing about the Vortec branding.
