Re: Vortec Advice

Ramjet is not a vortec shortblock is has the HT383 cam.
Yes some vortec blocks were drilled but as you found out no lobe to operate the pump still. Mechanical pump is much less hassle, but installing a cam is lots of hassle. Just depends on what you want. If your going carb I would install an aftermarket roller cam personally and run the mechanical pump.
