I am getting 113 vette heads for a 350 build-up. Which Edelbrock manifold works with these heads? Are the middle intake bolts at the GEN I angle of the TPI angle? Edelbrock makes a 2101 for Gen I and a 2104 for Gen II.

Can someone who has used these heads on a carb motor provide guidance?

Thanks

Early style, all intake bolts at the same angle...

Also, those heads don't support EGR, so there's no need in buying that version, unless you just need the valve to be mounted and hooked up for the visual.

This is actually a good question for me as well. I have a set of ZZ4 heads that I want to use and I'm not looking forward to having to elongate the two middle holes. What would be a good intake for these heads? Sorry I didn't mean to hijack.

Let's clear something up here:

Gen I was 1955 to 1995. Bolt angles changed in 1987. So, there are 1955-1986 Gen I heads, all of which had the bolts at 90 degrees, and 1987-1995 Gen I heads, which had the center two bolt holes on each side at 72 degrees.

Of course, the factory couldn't keep it simple, so Vettes kept all the intake mount bolts at 90 degree through 1991 - they didn't change in '87 like all the rest. Of course, in 1986-1/2, Vettes started using aluminum heads, too. The bolt angles stayed at 90 degrees with aluminum heads. The ZZ3 & 4 crate engines (not completely sure about ZZ1 & ZZ2) used the Vette aluminum heads.

Which means, 113's are all 90 degrees, therefore Gen I '86-earlier.

Gen II started in 1992 with the LT1 in Vettes.
