..need some help 350 with vortec heads

well, loong time lurker, needs some help.

i have a '56 GMC that i currently have a 327 tore down in the shop waiting for some machine work, pistons etc..but asking around it seems nobody is too excited about a 50yr old engine to work on.

So looking around the web at the local online classifieds i found a 350 already bored 30over with a roller cam, new pistons, and a box of gaskets, rings, and other misc stuff for $1000. he also has a set of vortec heads that "need work" that he would throw in..as well as the crank that is surface rusty that i am pretty sure i could get tossed in as well. the intake he has is the old TPI one that came from the donor ('89 Chevy), i know i dont want that.

From the Ad.."Have a 89 roller cam four bolt main all machined up 30 over with all new plugs and bearings. I've got a set of flat top aluminum hyper pistons on vortec powder pressed rods with ARP bolts. All the gaskets and parts to rebuild it except a crank. Have it but rusted.comes with a lt4 hotcam inside it. Have a set of heads for it but they are rusted as well."

i know i can find an intake to go with the vortec heads and add a nice carb to the top of that, but is there anything else that i need to know or look for when i am checking this thing over?

Will any of my 327 parts fit? am i looking into a barrel of trouble with this any way?
