350 block w/vortec heads - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gldevall · 03-16-2003, 10:57 PM

I have a 1998 350 2 bolt main with VORTEC heads I really need to get out of my way. I'll take $300 and that will get you the block, heads, valve covers, oil pan, push rods, roller lifters, rocker arms. Does not have a crank or cam. Was going to build 383 but changed my mind.

do you still have this for sale?

gldevall · 03-18-2003, 02:11 PM

yes

navybear70 · 03-19-2003, 01:13 AM

Why I gotta be on an island?!?!? Thats a deal I would grab in a heartbeat here!!

Tom · 03-19-2003, 01:14 PM

A little curious here. All 98 350's were vortec 350 motors. ALL vortec motors are 4bolt blocks.

gldevall · 03-19-2003, 09:51 PM

Well buddy you're wrong on this one. This motor came out of a 1998 Chevrolet truck. I thought for sure it would be a 4 bolt, but when I pulled off the oil pan there were only 2 bolts on each main cap.

*1FaastC10* · 03-19-2003, 11:34 PM

gldevall, i used to work for a GM dealer, and with all of the L31 blocks i have seen, all were 4 bolts. the service replacement for the block is PN: 10105123

Quote:

GM Performance Parts Catalog:

This engine block is used in 1986-99 Gen I heavy-duty applications. It has 4.00" diameter cylinder boresand four-bolt main bearing caps. This block is machined for a one-piece rear crankshaft seal.

this is also the same part number as the factory replacement block that you will buy from a GM dealer.

gldevall · 03-20-2003, 09:54 AM

I'll get the number off of the block and post it. I'll also take a picture of it showing that is only a 2 bolt main.

Tom · 03-20-2003, 02:02 PM

this is really interesting

kinda like those super rare 4bolt 305's

gldevall · 03-20-2003, 02:31 PM

Well, it may be a 305. But I was told it was a 350. Now you guys have me wondering what the hell kind of motor I have.

Tom · 03-20-2003, 04:43 PM

hmmm, never thought about that. It might be a 305. Just take a head off and check the bore size. If its under 4", its not a 350

gldevall · 03-20-2003, 09:42 PM

OK guys, I finally found out what I have. I found a casting # on the top of the block near the rear and it is 10243880. It has a 4" bore and I looked up the casting # and found the following.

MorTec.com

"10243880...350...95-00...2 or 4...Vortec truck, Gen.I crate motors and "ZZ4", roller cam, one piece rear seal"

I also took some pics of the block and the heads that I will post tomorrow. Any more questions? Just ask.

Thanks to everyone,

Gary

hmm.. learn somethin new every day!!

*1FaastC10* · 03-21-2003, 04:07 AM

yup yup, i've never seen a 2 bolt made after '92 or so.

gldevall · 03-21-2003, 10:54 AM

Here is a pic of the block.

gldevall · 03-21-2003, 10:56 AM

Here is a pic of the mains.

gldevall · 03-21-2003, 10:57 AM

And the heads

Blue68 · 03-21-2003, 04:18 PM

Yep, my '98 vortec 350 came out of a Z71 truck, 2bolt.

CRRoy71 · 03-23-2003, 12:33 AM

gldevall

How far are you from Beaumont?
Do you still have the engine?

gldevall · 03-23-2003, 06:12 PM

Yes, I still have it and I'm about 3 hours from Beaumont down I-10.

gldevall · 04-15-2003, 09:26 PM

TTT
All still available. Any takers?? Will sell separate.

73stepside · 04-15-2003, 11:20 PM

CT-Truckster · 04-16-2003, 01:45 AM

gldevall · 04-16-2003, 08:19 AM
