Re: Complete FIRST tpi unit

Do you know what engine the base is for? What angle are the center bolt holes on the base? 72 degree for the later model stuff or 90 degree? I assume it's the 90 degree since it was going to be for a 69 but I don't know if this is one of the intake bases that accepts both.

EDIT: Just noticed that I posted on the wrong thread, well not really wrong since it's the same seller, but I had intended to continue the conversation from https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...-tpi-sale.html. Whoops. Feel free to reply to whichever.

If that occurs please let me know.

Re: Complete FIRST tpi unit

Looks like I'll be staying with the 083 heads I have so it won't work for me. This is a deal for whoever gets it. Good luck with the sale.

Re: Complete FIRST tpi unit

What are the port sizes on those heads? It certainly isn’t hard to gasket match the ports?

Re: Complete FIRST tpi unit

I’m just guessing at the gasket size. The ports on the intake measure about 1.150 across and 1.937 across

Re: Complete FIRST tpi unit

Not a port size issue. It's a head bolt issue. Since that is the standard pattern for the inboard 2 bolts then it won't work on my 083 heads and I'd prefer to not grind out those 4 holes. I had a line on a set of 113 heads that would have matched the First, but abruptly I no longer have those available to me, so I'm sticking to my 083s.

Re: Complete FIRST tpi unit

The previous owner has already ovaled the holes out and you can get wedged spacers for the holes to take up the gap. Also, you can send the manifold back to FIRST and they’ll drill them out for you. It’s part of hotrodding, man!
