Engine swap info, please.
I need to know if someone can tell me from the info given here(350 CHEVY SHORT BLOCK
COMPLETE WITH OIL PAN
CAN BE RUN AS IS OR GOOD CORE TO REBUILD
1 PIECE REAR MAIN SEAL 90'S VINTAGE) Can I put my intake and heads on this short block and have it work in my 87 C4? The pistons look like flat tops with valve reliefs. Thank you for any and all help! Troy.

Block is same as your '87
Will need your oil pan and oil pickup
Compression may vary dependent on how different the pistons are to the ones in your engine
May or not be roller cam;
many 1 pce blocks machined for roller cam but fitted with flat tappet cams when installed in trucks

Will have the flats machined above the lifter bores and the 3 pedestals for the lifter retainer spider threaded
