question on L98 Vette heads - what intake?

OK I have a question, got a pair of Corvette L-98 aluminum heads off of ebay, 113 casting# so they should be decent on my L-98. Are the bolt pattern on these heads correct for the 87 & newer intakes or 86 & earlier? I saw a ZZ4 intake for sale and it said that it fit 86 & earlier heads, and I thought that ZZ4 heads were the same, not sure, is anyone here? Don't want to try to put on my 1987 intake and not have it fit these heads!
Thanks,
Dave

The L98 Corvette aluminum heads have the '86 and earlier style intake bolt pattern. The middle four bolts are at a different angle than the 87 and newer intakes.

Cool. So I could use a standard Edelbrock 86 & earlier manifold.

If you arent sure which intake to get go to the edelbrock website and look at their intakes and it will tell you which one will work. i swapped over to 87 corvette aluminum heads and needed a different intake becuase of the angle. i believe it is intake part number 2101 that is correct.
