Check this one out:

Will this L05 allow me to use my current TPI base since I'm assuming it has the older non-vortec heads?

I also saw that the L31 I originally linked to is 4 bolt main. Will that not match to my stock trans since my L98 is 2 bolt?
The tin may swap over (timing cover and oil pan) but you will want a new timing chain, oil pump, oil pickup, probably fasteners, etc. My point there is that incendentals may add up. And nothing is more depressing than a $250 Summit order with no glory parts in it... just bolts, oil, and gaskets.
