Anyone selling any used sbc vortecs?
Just like it says..... possibly looking for some slightly used vortecs if the price is right. DFW area would be even better.
Let me know what you have.

If your searching for a vortec to run a factory roller cam that is not necessary. I am still learning about these trucks but I do know my engines. All you need is the spider and lifter guides off of a factory roller engine, tap three bolts to hold down spider and use a roller cam plate on front of engine. There are a few clearencing prob you may run into when installing lifter guides but can be easily fixed with a die grinder. As for the heads they are pretty cheap from gm

I read over on the engine & drivetrain board that GM dealers will sell re-buildable vortec cores for around $100. Because that is what they get from the factory to turn them back in. I have not comfirmed this myself but it sounds like it's worth a call to the dealer parts dept.

Jamal, I'm not running a factory roller cam on this one.... just a Crane hyd flat tappet. I just need some Vortecs & will have them cut for screw in studs & set them up to handle .480 lift w/o reliability issues.
Americanrider, thanks for the tip. I've got a buddy that works for a GM dealership so I'll have to ask him about it.
