Complete Engines for Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Available Engines for the Chevy Silverado 1500 Pickup

The Silverado designation for Chevrolet trucks has been around since 1975. The truck has remained basically unchanged since its inception. This makes it less complicated to do an engine swap on a Chevy Silverado pickup.

When it comes to buying a Chevy Silverado complete engine, there are quite a few compatible options on eBay to choose from. Each of these complete engines will fit in a Chevy Silverado 1500. You can track down a Chevy 5.3 engine for sale, but you can also find engines in other capacities like 4.3, 5.3, and 6.2-liter. Additionally, they are available in such designations as Vortec, Flex-Fuel, and EcoTec3. The EcoTec3 is a high-compression engine that pulls 420 horsepower and requires 91 octane gasoline. Flex-Fuel engines can run on other fuels such as ethanol or methanol. The Vortec designation is simply the trademark name for a General Motors engine.

Here is a list of available engines for the Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup that you can find for sale on eBay:

• 4.3-liter Vortec V6 – 4.8-liter Vortec V8
• 5.3-liter Vortec V8 – 5.3-liter Flex-Fuel Vortex V8
• 6.0-liter VVT Vortec V8 – 6.2-liter VVT Vortec V8
• 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V6 – 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 – 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8

Chevy Silverado engines come in three basic conditions. You can buy an engine used. This means there are already miles applied to the engine. The exact amounts will be cataloged on the eBay listing. Many engines with low miles are available.

Another option is to buy a rebuilt or remanufactured engine. Both are available with zero miles. You can also purchase rebuilt and remanufactured engines in used condition, meaning there will be miles accrued.

Finally, you can buy engines brand-new on eBay.

A rebuilt engine is usually reconstructed by an independent mechanic. It is "like-new," in that it is rebuilt with new and used parts and it has zero miles on it. On the other hand, it hasn't been approved or tested.

A remanufactured engine has been rebuilt to standard. The remanufacture process means the rebuild is modeled on original blueprints and factory specifications. An officially remanufactured engine has been tested and approved to confirm it complies with original standards. A 5.3 Vortec for sale will meet all of Chevy's factory standards and specifications for that engine.
