A 95+ Vortec engine, can be disguised quite well. Offer better power then a gen 1 sbc, and the roller cam is not effected by lack of zinc like traditional flat tappets. With general parts store oils that is.

Bowtie Vortec heads are a respectable 180cc, and have both valve cover mounts.

Mercruiser has Vortec Q-jet iron manifolds. Easily found on ebay among other places.

So to 99% of gear heads it would appear stock, but with a extra 50 hp/tq. With the same driveability.
