I'm thinking of rebuilding my 350 SBC, but I'm told a Vortec is a better engine.

If I bought a Vortec long block, how many of the old SBC parts can be carried over? I'd also like to use a Q jet on either one. Will the Vortec with a Q jet perform that much better, or should I just rebuild the engine already have? Thanks.
