Haven't you asked this question a HANDFUL of times already??
If you use the vortec block you'll have lower CR I believe. But you get to use a roller cam. Choose which you want more.

Re: 12.99?

whats wrong with your old combo, it seems to fit the bill just nicely.

IF it needs refreshed, just refresh it and use those heads/intake/etc

run abit more cam if you want deeper 12's than what you have now

IF you convert to a roller, go with something like the 276hr from comp.

go with a 3000 stall for more street use

i think i have a knock in the motor. dont knock when cold just after it warms up. around 1500 to 3000 rpm has one. but runs best ever.

well if you feel the need to freshen it up, go for it. convert it over to a roller and get the full potential out of those heads/intake setup
