Default What Vortec engines are all aluminum?

Many Vortec engines are are for sale. I Often read "All aluminum".

Please tell me what Vortec engines are aluminum-block engines and if they also have alu-heads.

How can I detect the alu-engines.

Thanks Hannes

Very funny, I would like to detect the engine before I buy it. I live in Austria and buy engines in the USA!
