e99 engine into my 95 obs

I know its been beaten to death but im planing on a stock rebuild of this e99 long block (has forged rods) to have as a spare for when mine goes out. My engine is starting to have more and more blow by with pressure behind it its not strong enough to blow off the oil cap off or even move it but I can feel the pressure on the palm of my hand. I know its do to my heavy right foot and my current mileage 807k.
All I need to know is if my cam will fit the e99 block or will I have to convert to e fuel for this process which im trying to avoid due to cost and trying to keep it as stock as possible. Thanks for your help

I would think the cam would fit, but the next question, does the E99 block have the port for the mechanical fuel pump?

I should start saving for e fuel to how much will a kit cost or is it more feasible to do a DIY efuel?
I know my motor will keep kicking for a while(knock on wood) but im getting ready for when it does.

I did diy . you will spend half or less than a kit.
Diy can be a littl e hassle but IMO the savings is worth it!
