Replacement engine - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Once I get my starter situation straightened out, I am going to start considering an engine replacement. I have decided to either go with this stock replacement engine engine and upgrade it with an Edelbrock cam, lifters, and intake manifold set. Or this one,engine and just add an intake manifold. I want it to be in the 300-350HP range. It will have dual exhaust w/rams horn manifols and I will be using an Edelbrock 1806 650cfm carb and HEI iginition. What value does Vortec heads have? Both engines are 4-bolt mains. The stock one uses a 2-piece rear seal and the 330-HP uses a 1-piece seal. Also, is it recommended to use a HV oil pump?? The tranny is another story.

Sorry, the links didn't work correctly. Anyways, the stock one is the one for $1419 and the other one is $2395 & 330HP.

Might think about posting this in the Engine threads. You may get better answers there.
