Engine Application: Vortec Head for TBI

Note: The exhaust manifold from 1996-and-newer pickup trucks with RPO L31 350 engine, P/N 12557828, is drilled and tapped to accept an EGR tube. EGR pipe P/N 10220275 can be used with EGR Valve P/N 19210662 and gasket P/N 12337972. This manifold is primarily intended for use with Vortec heads on pre-1996 engine blocks. Blocks manufactured in 1995 or earlier have thermostat bypass passage from the block directly to the water pump. If manifold is used on 1996 and later engines (which do not have the bypass in the block), you must run a coolant bypass line from the manifold to the 5/8″ hose nipple on the water pump (passenger’s side). Suggested routing is from the 3/8 NPSF boss on manifold to the water pump.
