The blocks are the same. The cranks and heads are whats different. Just get an 01 or newer if your planning on using the stock crank. Heads were Iron and cranks were longer on the 99's and some 2000's.

When you buy a new block from GM does it come with mains and main bolts all line honed? Are the cyl walls honed and ready to go at 4.000"? **** for $500 that's worth buying a new one rather buying used and getting machined.
