VEGE DCV6 4.3L 262ci Car Truck Long Block Remanufactured Crate Engine

Description

Halt severe commercial van oil burning with the VEGE DCV6 Remanufactured Crate Engine car truck long block package. Displacing 4.3L across 262ci in a ninety-degree V6 layout, this motor outputs 190 BHP at 4400 RPM and 250 lb-ft torque at 2800 RPM. Engineered for multi-port fuel injection, it repowers utility fleets with dependable pulling power.

A deep-skirt cast iron ninety-degree V6 block features precision decked surfaces with a 4.00-inch cylinder bore and 3.48-inch stroke. The rotating group incorporates a balanced nodular iron crankshaft, drop-forged connecting rods, and commercial-grade hypereutectic aluminum alloy pistons. Cylinder pressure achieves a 9.2:1 compression ratio for regular fuel operation. A 4.5-quart steel wet sump oil pan maintains continuous oil pickup. Total dressed dry weight registers 385 lbs for solid truck traction.

Key Features of VEGE DCV6

Commercial fleet managers buy VEGE DCV6 crate engine packages to recondition cargo vans and utility transport haulers without dealership markup. Each remanufactured long block receives precision deck surfacing, line-honed main bearing saddles, and micro-polished crank journals to eliminate oil burning under continuous heavy loads.

• 4.00-inch cylinder bores feature diamond plateau honing to seat piston rings fast.
• Vortec high-swirl cylinder heads enhance intake charge velocity into combustion chambers.
• 49.3mm intake valves and 38mm exhaust valves promote smooth combustion chamber scavenging.
• 64cc combustion chambers eliminate detonation knock when burning standard 87-octane pump gasoline.
• Multi-layer steel head gaskets seal combustion fire rings under all temperature extremes.
• Hydraulic roller lifters inside the VEGE DCV6 block reduce valvetrain friction.
• Internal balance shaft cancels secondary engine vibrations through chassis mounts.
• Stamped steel rear-sump oil pan clears front drive axle housings and steering linkage.

Combustion Dynamics Dyno Output Specs

The power curve delivers consistent torque output between 800 and 4,800 RPM. Peak dynamometer output reaches 190 brake horsepower at 4,400 RPM alongside 250 lb-ft torque at 2,800 RPM. Camshaft duration measures 196 degrees on intake and 202 degrees on exhaust at 0.050-inch lift, alongside 0.414-inch valve lift. The motor runs on standard 87-octane regular pump unleaded gasoline. Intake manifold vacuum pulls 19.5 in-Hg at a smooth 650 RPM idle. Operating oil pressure regulates between 40 and 65 PSI at 2,400 working RPM.

Drivetrain Interface Engine Bay Clearance

The rear bellhousing pattern aligns flush to longitudinal manual and automatic truck transmissions. An internal neutral balance crank flange connects straight to production flywheels or torque converter flexplates. Standard block mounting pads align with chassis rubber isolators, preserving three inches of clearance to steering boxes and radiator core supports.

Break-In Protocol Maintenance Parameters

Pre-lube all engine oil passages with a pressurized tank before initial startup to protect journal bearings. Fill the crankcase with SAE 5W-30 mineral break-in oil and bleed trapped air bubbles from heating circuit hoses. This truck V6 motor is not engineered for turbocharging exceeding 6 PSI boost, competitive mud bogging, or unmetered nitrous oxide injection.

• Run motor at 2,000 RPM for 20 minutes to bed in camshaft lobes.
• Drain initial break-in oil and install a fresh oil filter after the first 500 miles.
• Replace crankcase motor oil and inspect drive belts every 3,000 miles during regular service.

Verified Warranty Physical Crate Manifest

A 36-Month / 100,000-Mile nationwide limited warranty provides long-term mechanical protection against defects. The heavy transport crate contains the remanufactured long block, stamped steel oil pan, aluminum timing cover, harmonic damper, stamped valve covers, oil pressure verification report, and an installation instruction handbook.
