Make sure the heads are not cracked....and run a ring and bearing kit thru it...
You will, in most cases, need to add an electric fuel pump as most Vortecs do not have the fuel pump hole drilled in the block..
You could always go to Scoggin Dickey and grab a new L31 $1999 free shipping...

That cam you mentioned...way too much for a street daily driver...IMO |
Just one more thing...if you do go with roller block, you will need a different flexplate as the crank end is different due to one piece rear seal on the roller motors...
