    Something is wrong.
    I can't find "vortec' either.

    Did find vortex [ close enough for me ] in the dictionary. Diff. #6= a rapid rotatory movement of cosmic matter about a center, regarded as accounting for the origin of systems of bodies in space.

    Sounds like a 6.0 to me.
    Hope that helps.

    It's just called an "engine cover". There are a few sites that sell them. Some have carbon fiber ones but they're like $300. Just Google "Vortec engine cover". This site has some listed for a 5.3 but only shows the 6.0:

    JP Customs - Chevy, GMC, Cadillac & Hummer Accessories. - Vortec Engine Cover
