Mike, It is a vortec motor,distributor in back, the cam gear dowel hole fits tight on the dowel, but it is slotted. The gears and chain are in excellent shape, and I was planning on reuseing them. I am going to put the hotcam in it with slotted cam gear and degree it to see if it affects anything. If the numbers come up right I am gonna try it. Can I run the old style water pump on this motor?
i not sure about the water pump Jeff. looks like it will bolt up but i don't know about the other brackets. this is what makes building hot rods so interesting. ive built a few of the late model motors and i wonted to keep everything the way it was, and your've taken a couple late model motors and changed everything over to the old style. i just like the idea of EFI and serpentine belts. it seems like ive spent 1/2 of my life looking for brackets, so now when i buy a motor if everything is not there i keep on going.
