If it is the factory roller you are refering to you would have to have the 87newer block. Only these blocks have the bosses for the cam retainer plate and lifter "spider" to bolt to.
As for the tpi, you would have to have a tpi base from edelbrock or SDPC because the vortec utilizes taller intake ports and only four vertical intake bolts on each side.

Are you up for a road trip?? JK. Any 350 block newer than 1987 will have the bosses you are looking for . The trruck motors did not have the roller cam but gm cast all 350 blocks after 87 with the provisions for rollers. Good luck!
