Okay I have found a vortec block the guy believes is a 1999 model. Do all the vtecs after 98 have roller cams? He said he wasn't sure if it did. I am looking for a roller cam block and this one seems like its a good deal with only 54,000 miles on it. Its just an hour away so I kinda wanted to find out more before I drove out to it

thanks

87+ are all able to be roller, but only the corvette/z28 and trans am had OE roller cams(equipment from a LT1 will work).

check to see the cid, it will read either 5.7 or 5.0 at the rear of block.
vortecs came in both cid, and look identical from exterior

BeefTip

make sure that the block is a vortec 5.7 and not an ls based vortec 4.8, 5.3 or 6.0. they made all of them in 99

OKay I will if its stamped on it then it should be pretty clear. But I am gonna print all the numbers and make sure it is what it is.
