Is the 5.7 Vortec a LS engine?
Although Vortec engines are “LS” based they are NOT LS engines IMO.You can gain an inch or two by removing the plastic engine cover and cutting some of the plastic tabs on top of the Vortec intake manifold. This may be all you need for clearance and a Vortec will fit in your car.

How do you tell if a 5.7 is a Vortec?
One easy way to identify the 5.7L Vortec engine is to examine the cylinder heads. The GM Industrial Vortec cylinder head was made by installing LT1 Corvette ports into an iron casting. The intake manifold bolts on with an 8-bolt pattern, unlike most other 5.7 GM heads that bolt on with a 12-bolt pattern.
Is a 5.7 Vortec a good motor?
That is a great engine. Really the only lame 350’s were the 87 to 95 TBI engines, and then only because the heads had poor flow. The 96-99 vortecs had great heads, arguably the best flowing production iron head ever.
