You can take a drill bit and drill out the middle bolt holes to make the tbi intake work on older heads, I have done it several times myself. And if you wanted to spend the money, you could just buy a 4 bbl intake to tbi adaptor plate from summit and save the trouble. I can pull up the part number if you want, Frank
