I had a set on my carbed 350 before it went. I have a couple of friends who are interested in it, one of which has a TPI. Can he use it ?? will it fit the TPI with all it's accesories....

Yep. Small block chevy heads are interchangeable, for the most part... What fits on one 350 will bolt right on to another 350. You just have to watch the intake manifold bolt angles, and the accessory bolt holes.

You hit it right on the head Kevin !!
That's what I was after, I know that it will fit any SBC, just wanted to know about the bolt patterns and angles on the TPI intake...

Maybe someone else who's tried it knows for sue ??!?!

Anyone know if it's just the bolt angles ??
These can be machined straighter right ??

The bolt patterns will be off on the TPI base (unless it's a 'vette base). I've heard it's a pretty easy fix on the carb intakes involving grinding out the bolt holes, but I'm not sure how easy it is on the TPI intakes.

Are these the <86 perimeter bolt heads with 45º intake manifold holes or the 87> centerbolt heads with 72º holes? The intakes are the same for TPI. If you've got the <86 heads then he'll need either an aftermarket TPI intake, or a 85-86 TPI intake. Or, it is easy enough to enlarge the holes on the 87+ TPI intakes.
