Any 87 up 1 pc RMS/roller motor will do. There's a jillion TBI/Vortec 350's from pick ups in bone yards. I think TBI's will come with a flat tappet cam, though. But, they'll work.

Re: 350 motor question

vortech heads have different intake manifold bolt patterns , lifters are hydraulic rollers . just get a 88 and up 350 block , swap your intake and sensors over to the new block , IMPORTANT dont forget to switch your stock cam over to the new block thats if you want to keep it stock . if you get a vortech block just use your 350 tpi heads on the vortech block.
