Here's the flow rates of the Summit Racing heads and the Vortec's. You can see the difference @ .500" lift.

I have a set of the engine quest hybrid heads. Not bad - get them bare though and put your own parts in them.

On the dyno it pulled 300 hp and 385 ft lbs. mind you this was also using a comp roller cam, but stock ecm.

@Schurkey is right look for a early 90s up to 93 I think Caprice. Roller cam and flat top pistons, if you can find a police car Caprice they have the Tpi cam in it to boot.

The big-block, small-block, and the truck V-6 all have the same bellhousing bolt pattern.

Select the right flywheel/flexplate, and any V-6--V-8 trans bolts up.

From there, it's just a matter of input torque capacity.

I used the same trans that my '88 K1500 came with, after it got rebuilt. Lasted ~18 years, it's at the trans shop right now waiting on another rebuild this coming week.
