Is this motor a good replacement motor?

Hello all! I have a 1989 Iroc-z with a 350 tpi. Was wanting to know what people would think about replacing it with this http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/f...DK73488&trk=12. I know I will have to replace the intake with a vortec style intake if i stay with the TPI system!

I dont think the cam would get along with the tpi very well.

That's the LT4 hot cam. SDPC uses it in their Vortec TPI replacement engine.

That's a great motor for your car. The cam is just an LT4 hot cam. It will be a real screamer. If you went with the Holleystrealthram vortec intake it would really move out.
