VEGE 547H 3.5L 3471cc Multi Purpose Long Block Remanufactured Crate Engine

Description

Transport heavy passengers and service equipment using the VEGE 547H Remanufactured Crate Engine. Engineered as a 3.5L 3471cc multi-purpose V6 long block, this powertrain outputs 218 brake horsepower at 5,500 RPM and 224 lb-ft torque at 4,300 RPM. Overhead camshafts and multi-port fuel injection deliver smooth throttle response across passenger vans, multi-purpose crossovers, and light commercial vehicles.

An open-deck cast iron block features an 89.0 mm cylinder bore and a 93.0 mm stroke. Four cross-bolted ductile iron main caps hold a forged steel crankshaft rotating on precision bi-metal bearings. Hypereutectic aluminum alloy pistons generate a 9.1:1 compression ratio above a 5.0-quart steel oil pan. Long block dry weight sits at 370 lbs.

Key Features of VEGE 547H

Fleet maintenance supervisors choose to buy VEGE 547H crate engine packages to rebuild high-mileage passenger haulers and service vehicles without machine shop delays. Precision manufacturing methods re-establish factory compression numbers, improving fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions.

• 89.0 mm plateau-honed cylinder walls establish rapid piston ring seating to stop crankcase oil burn.
• Forged steel crankshaft counterweights cancel rotational vibrations under heavy vehicle payload demands.
• Twenty-four valve cylinder heads optimize air velocity to increase low-end engine acceleration response.
• Powder-metal valve seats prevent face recession when burning regular unleaded pump fuel.
• The VEGE 547H internal neutral balance configuration matches stock converters to eliminate chassis vibration.
• Multi-layer steel head gaskets preserve combustion seals under high summer engine coolant operating heat.
• Drop-forged connecting rods hold journal roundness under sudden downshift deceleration forces.

Dyno Torque Output Valvetrain Operational Bounds

Usable torque spans from 1,500 to 5,800 RPM, giving drivers plenty of low-speed grunt to pull fully loaded chassis up steep hills. Cam duration registers 202 degrees at 0.050-inch lift with 0.360-inch valve lift, providing seventeen inches of mercury vacuum at an 800 RPM idle. The engine functions on regular 87-octane pump fuel, sustaining 45 to 65 PSI hot oil pressure.

Transverse Bellhousing Engine Bay Clearances

The bellhousing bolt circle matches original equipment transverse transaxles and longitudinal transmission cases. Crankshaft pilot dimensions fit standard torque converter hubs without custom adapters. The slim oil pan contours drop between structural subframe rails without contacting front steering tie rods, chassis brackets, or lower radiator hoses.

Run In Protocol Severe Duty Boundaries

Pressurize the engine oil galleys with an oil preluber containing SAE 10W-30 break-in oil before running the starter motor. Run the engine through varying speeds between 1,800 and 2,500 RPM during initial run-in while purging radiator air pockets. This engine is not built for supercharged boost exceeding five PSI or nitrous setups.

• Drain the break-in motor oil and spin on a clean filter after five hundred road miles.
• Inspect cooling lines and serpentine accessory drive belts every twelve months of service.
• Change the crankcase oil and replace the spin-on canister filter every three thousand miles.

Warranty Statement Wood Box Packing List

This engine comes with a 24-Month / 50,000-Mile VEGE customer satisfaction warranty against remanufacturing faults. The reinforced wooden pallet crate houses the completed long block, stamped steel oil pan, aluminum valve covers, water pump, timing belt package, signed dyno test sheet, and installation guide.
