Roller Cam
Guys,
I want to swap my stock 350 engine from my 1972 Corvette. It has a stock 4sp manual and probably is not a Muncie due to it being "K" stock VIN. I'm looking into a roller cam set up. Any suggestions on engine block I should go with? One that will mate up? I'm thinking a vortec block (1996-99). I'm not sure so I need your expertise please!!

there's a similar one I was looking at before I decided to work with my existing block: http://www.jegs.com/p/Chevrolet-Perf...69813/10002/-1
It's a new GM 383 roller, vortec heads. Forged crank instead of cast. Costs more than twice as much as the one above, though. Others warned about vortec heads limited maximum lift... so keep that in mind.
