Chevrolet Chevy Van / Express Engines by Year

Chevrolet's full-size van began as the 1964 Chevy Van and became the Express for 1996; the GMC Savana is its twin. Every 1500, 2500 and 3500 van and passenger version is included; cutaways are not. Van ratings often differed from the pickups' for the same engine, so they are listed as the van's own figures.

Pick a year to see every engine offered that model year, with its code, rated horsepower and the trims it came in. Each engine links to its full specs.
