Question 92 350 Heads

92 Chevy 350 heads...194 intake and 160 exhaust.....will an old style intake bolt to these heads? There not vortec, so I'm guessing my "normal" Wiend intake will bolt to these???
I dont have the heads yet, or I'd just look at the bolt holes.
Thanks....

When GM went to fuel injection they changed the angle of the 4 center (2 each side) bolts.On some intakes you can file them out and make it work.Better check those heads.I heard they're bad about cracking and I've never heard of any performance gains between them and older 350 heads.

Actually, the fuel injection started back in the early 80's. Here are some I.D. things too look at to figure the years.
I have a looong list that starts with the '55 265 Cubic Inch.
Cross Fire Injection started in '81.
TPI started in '85.
Center bolt valve covers and a one pce rear main seal came in '86.
Roller cam provisions and new angle intake holes started in '87.So, no, your old school intake is not a direct bolt on.

It'll fit. Just elongate the 4 center bolt holes.
I've done it several times.

actually 87 was the TBI and center valve cover bolt holes year,

86 was first of one piece rear, yeah

86 are stil carb fed, cept for TPI and crossfire, TPI were still conventional heads, no center bolt cover heads at all til 87

aftermarket companies make carb intakes for center bolt heads(non-LT1)

and if you went to trouble of filling the two center tapped holes in each head, and redrilled the holes and 3/8" tapped them to the 87-up angle then you could use a caveman intake on the heads you ask about, ive heard of it being done and someone did somewhere, and i dont rememeber where, its been too long since i saw it, too many computer crashes ago,,,

good luck
