Car: 89 TA, 79Z28, 88K1500 TPI swapped Engine: 350 HSR, 350TPI Transmission: 700R4 w/ Raptor 5X 9.5" converter Axle/Gears: 3.73 8.5" ring 10 bolt | I'm running 60s 327 Fuelie vette heads with 2.02 intake, 1.7 exhaust valves on a newly-converted 1969 327 TPI. Any of the aftermarket TPI intakes, like the stealthram, will have dual pattern center bolt holes that fit either pre 86 or post 86 heads, so yes, it will bolt right up to your heads. Like in my case, your heads will be overkill for a stock TPI intake due to the fact that the heads keep flowing out to 6500-7000 rpms, and the intake quits at 5000. I did extensive porting and siamesed the stock TPI manifold base, and then ported the plenum, so I should be good to the 5500 range. My hydraulic cam peaks around 5500-6000, so I'm hoping the low end torque I'm gaining from the TPI will offset the small loss of top end I'll see. A stealth ram would be a good choice for you. |
