Default Vortec???

I have a 1995 Chevrolet Blazer LT 4x4....I read on Wikipedia that the 1995's didn't have a Vortec engine?? My engine IS a Vortec 4.3 engine. Maybe I just read it wrong and 1995 did come with the Vortec?

You can never fully trust Wikipedia. Sorry.
If it clearly says on your engine Vortec, then one must imagine it truly is a Vortec.

YES, and I think ALL 1995's were vortecs actually.

Yes. I typed "1995 blazer vortec engine" into google and found a '95 Blazer with a Vortec in it on Craigslist.com. Then I looked on answers.com and found:

Our 95 is a Vortec.. only bad thing is that the tranny starts to go at about 100,000 miles
