What did you decide on for a cam with your rebuild last year? Did it work out the way you hoped? I'm curious since the lope usually has to do with a motor that is set up to spinhigher RPMs and make power up there, rather than a torque motor. Lope sounds cool, but I choose cams that give a smooth idle and low end torque, so I'm curious if you're happy with what you got.

Regarding the vortec heads, just be sure that they are not cracked as well. They are prone to cracking and hide the cracks well. Don't want you to end up with the problem you're fixing.
