Between those options, definately the 12V. A 98.5 24V would probably have a 53 block 
. And changing the 24V to a p-pump costs lots of money and is a pain in the........well, you get the idea.

If it doesnt have the 53 block then I would definitley go with a p-pumped 24v. I truely think that a greater hp can be achieved with this combo rather than a 12v, just for the simple fact that you have twice the valves so you can let that much more are in and exhaust out. just my .02

I would run a 12v or a p-pump 24v. If you go the VP route your gonna need the ECM and all the electronics sensors. A P-pump engine is so much easier installation with a stick truck.
