A question for you fellas.

[4thgenoutlaw]

I've been recently looking for a "S10 SS" 94-97. In my research it appears that the 94 had a Vortec engine with a different intake than all others I've seen. Was this motor "special"? I like the look of it and am thinking of zeroing in on just a 94 SS. This site is "the bomb"! Looking forward chatting it up with you fellas as soon as I latch on to one!


Thanks in advance,

Brad

That may be where the 1994 got e few extra hp. The 94 was rated at 195hp and the later egines were a little less. But I believe the basic engines were the same. This is the 1994-95 specs.

Good luck. I have had a 94ss going on 8 years now, and I have had zero engine problems, 109,000 and still going strong.

I have a 1996 ss for sale. 112k miles...
It's been a wonderful truck, I've had it since 02 when it had 29k miles. Selling because I bought a syclone, and 3 trucks is too many.
