pretty positive that is the 1996-2000 Chevy Truck 5.7L Vortec block.

Most stroker cranks require a little clearancing on the block, but your machinist will.should know this.

Speaking of which, this block is super common....your engine guy may even have one. If not, sure as schit he can/will get one for you.

He does not think heads would fit the block... will see, thanks

880 block and standard vortec heads. Look up the part numbers. Same as 5.7.

just as said above...that number is coming up as a 5.7

they are a dime a dozen from all the trucks that used them from 95-99
