You wipe a lobe.. you now out an engine..
what is cheaper.. having a shop(dealership) install and break in a smog headed flat tappet engine..
or buy the vortec for 1900.00 and diy install and not having to worry about break in other than fire it up,, and after the first running change the oil, and after 500 miles change it again..

Are you implying that if I buy the engine and install it myself it won't have ANY warranty? According to this document, taken right off the GM Genuine Parts website, this engine would have a 3yrs/100,000 mile warranty whether installed by a dealer OR sold over the counter. I don't see any "fine print" here that says if the cam gets wiped, I'm out an engine.
"1. Parts and labor warranty when installed by a GM Dealer or qualified installing Independent Service Center (ISC).
2. Parts and labor warranty when sold over the counter and REPAIRED by a GM Dealer or qualified installing Independent Service "
