Oh sure there's lots of parts for the engine itself, but have fun getting it running nicely with the POS fuel system and ECM.

It's a '78 vette which means in Texas that I am exempt from emissions due to the vehicle being over 25 yrs old. Getting the fuel system sorted is as simple as a performer rpm manifold,holley 4150, and a low volume electric pump. Or even sticking with a quadrajet.Originally Posted by Frenchy
I full well understand the LS motor is superior in every way.. but that's not the route I'm going. Stepping up to a late Gen 1 with the 1 piece crank seal and roller cam has the potential to produce more than enough power to break the entire drivetrain into pieces. They weren't exactly known for being bulletproof.

Ok if you're putting a carb on it, no problemmo. I assumed when you were on the hunt for a Vortec you were after EFI. Nout just a roller cam 350. Okay makes more sense now.

Had 350 with stock efi on my 96 and took down 5.3's all day, don't knock old smallblock it was the engine of choice for most for many hotrodders and still today. Nothing wrong with old, you'll be there someday
And got half the milage.
