Re: 350 Vortec; convert to carbureted and HEI ignition possible?
You can use a carb intake for vortec heads, just get an intake made for vortec heads. A regular chevy distributor will drop right in. Chances are you'll need to run an electric fuel pump since your block is likely not drilled for a fuel pump pushrod. I ditched the plastic timing cover and replaced it with a standard steel one. I also got rid of the pickup wheel behind the balancer. To do that I ran a regular double row timing chain for a roller cam 305/350 and a regular 8" internal balance harmonic balancer.
