Update

Well had a accident some weeks ago and had to put it all on the back burner. But on my feet again so ready to continue. Pulled the old 350 out and placed it in storage for a future project. Now came up with a 96 350 vortec for the build. Decided to go with this one cause it's a roller motor. the block looks great. Got lucky and got the heads with it and their not cracked both block and heads were checked at the machine shop. But the bad was it had spun a rod bearing. He bought a new crank but got to hurting for money and sold the crank. So on that note I got the rest.

Now as stated before I'm going to take it to carb. So a aftermarket intake will take care of that. Buy steadying the vortec I see sensers in the timing cover for firing. I was wondering if I got a older 1 piece seal crank and changed the timing cover would that work. Sure I'll have to change the damper and flex plate. I don't think the block change any, say from 86 to 95 compared to the 96 vortec but I could be wrong. Any thoughts would be very helpful.
