L31 Vortec 350 V8, this engine is based on the Gen 1 SBC platform, it was produced from 1996 to 2002 and was used in several different applications. It was commonly found in vehicles such as the 1996-2000 GMT400 Pickup, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade, and Tahoe, as well as the 1996-2002 GMT610 Savanna and Express. It can also be found running on propane (LPG) in industrial settings like irrigation pumps, generators, and even hockey rink Zambonis. Throughout its ~7 year run it produced 255hp and 330-350lb-ft torque. Albeit not very fuel efficient, or powerful by modern standards, it is known to be one of the most reliable and ubiquitous V8s you can buy.
This engine is the closest I can get to the real life version, the HP is a little off but its close enough, all of the head, cam and rotating assembly specs are as accurate as I can get them to the best of my knowledge.
Vehicle setup is a K2500 single cab pickup with a 4L80-E transmission and 4.10 rear gear
