edelbrock performer q jet intake on 87-up heads

I got a great deal on a edelbrock q jet intake for my carb swap but the intake is for pre 86 heads.Now i have heard that i can enlarge the holes to make them fit the heads properly Is this true.if not can i use pre86 heads on a 87-up block?

to fit a pre86 intake on post 86 heads, you just have to elongate the 4 center bolt holes. and yes, you can use 87+ heads on a 86- block.
