Those are hard to come by. They didn't build many and are coveted whenever they are found. You'd probably be better off repairing the one you've already got.

The one in the car is aluminum blocks. Vortecs from that era are iron blocks. Also the bell housing bolt pattern is different.

. . . and as far as "just a bit bigger", there is no extra room in there.

What is wrong with the current one?
