The one with the fuel pump hole would be a good start. He's not very specific about what heads come on the engine, you might want to specify 083's.
I'm running a ZZ4 take-out eBay cam. You have to be sure the heads can handle the lift, though.

4-bolt is over-hyped. If I had a choice between a 2-bolt roller block and a 4-bolt non-roller block, I'd take the roller block. A ZZ4 cam and a non-roller block is not a good start.
906 = Vortecs. That would be a good engine, but only if they do engines good.
That's the type of cam I was talking about. I wouldn't pay $175, and I certainly wouldn't do business with that particular seller (nasty feedback).

Both of those sites where recommended from some friends and have decent warrantys and built to stock specs.
Heres what it says about the engine
2 bolt main R code # 880 block - 906 heads pick-up
It also says its for 96-00. Would I have any trouble using that engine for a lg4 type build with the stock carb and all? what cam with that if I should even swap it?

You are going to need a vortec intake to go with the heads. Also, I dont think that block would have provisions for a fuel pump. The boss is there, but i dont think its drilled for the pushrod. You can always run an inline though, or put a pump in the tank.

I kinda figured that on the intake. How much will a decent one run? I have an edelbrock performer currently to bad it wont work. I already have a pump in the tank.

The Performer is your only choice to fit the q-jet. About $175 from Summit.
See if they'll do a better cam than stock. Keep the lift below .480", duration around 270 adv., and LSA in the 112-114 range.

You need a Vortec Performer. $175 from Summit.
Summit is a good place to find a lot of things, including cams.
He's probably right about the fuel pump rod hole. Talk to the outfits, they may be willing to build an engine with the fuel pump hole, roller lifters, and Vortec heads.
