For a bit more money you can get one of these roller blocks.
Compression, roller cam and vortec heads.
Sure you need a fuel pump and different flywheel or flexplate but you should replace those anyway.

That's a great deal, although I would get the 4 bolt version. But don't forget, in addition to the $200+ initial price, the fuel pump, flex plate/flywheel, you'll need to buy an intake too. A lot of folks already have a nice aluminum intake. If you want to upgrade the cam, that'll cost double or so compared to a non-roller. Not to mention if you want to get a cam with decent lift, you'll need to have the heads machined or run a set of these

I'm not actually arguing with you as much as detailing that it's all a matter of how much you want to spend (or can spend.) When the time comes I don't know which one I'll choose, the Pace 300 or an L31 with an upgraded cam.
