Nice, its in good shape, scored it and a 700r4

Im trying to figure out which model edelbrock intake I can run

I know the other models cut off at 1986 I believe, I think this is the next style, requires a different style intake

The heads are what makes a difference with the intake application. So,just be sure what heads you have..probably Vortec by the sound of things

96-up

350 Cu In

2 & 4-Bolt main Vortec

Roller cam

Re: engine decoding help
 

Is there a VIN on the pad?

4 bolt Vortecs would be from 1 ton trucks. I have one. It has a steel crankshaft also.

Wow, I lucked out, person I got it from thought it was a non roller 1980's motor when they sold it to me, which wouldve been fine by me considering I got it with a 700r4
A friend obtaind it for me so I didnt see it till recently when it arrived

Well my mechanic pulled the intake.......
No roller cam :-(

I can swap in my comp cam/ lifters I had layin around

The good news,opened it up inspected things, the motor looks close to new, he said hed be surprised if it has
5, 000 miles

So if its a crate motor it wasnt in the car long before it got wrecked
