TPI on an older 350 block?

I have an older 350 block (pre 80) and thinking of buying a tpi unit for it. Is there anything special I would need to change because it's an older block? I think the intake bolts up differently? Does anyone know of any write ups on this?

If you get a junk yard unit, you have to watch the intake manifold bolt angles. If you go aftermarket they usually have the center manifold bolt angles set up for old and new blocks.
