    uncompromised power — outstanding power with no sacrifice in
    fuel efficiency or durability and very little required maintenance.

    GM Powertrain takes its expertise in designing


    outstanding Vortec truck and SUV engines and
    leverages it to make sophisticated yet extremely
    durable marine engines. In addition, the well-
    recognized Vortec brand name by itself has
    become a valuable selling tool for OEMs. The compact packaging of the
    Vortec 3.0L gasoline engine
    allows for excellent fuel
    economy with an impressive
    power-to-weight ratio.

    The exhaust valve seat inserts


    in the cylinder head provide
