What manifold can I use with these heads?

I am rebuilding a pair of heads that I aquired (casting no. 14101083) which I believe is a vortec style head, but I cannot find a carbureted intake manifold to fit these. Can I use any intake from 87-up?

MorTec says that they are Gen. 1 heads w/ 72 degree center manifold bolt angles.

Transmission: TH-350/3500stall
Axle/Gears: 7.5" Auburn 4.10 Posi-Traction
Those are not Vortec heads
There are some intake manifolds specific to fit those heads GM makes a hi perf marine
dual plane hi rise. Holley has one at least.
Most other sbc normal port heads can be modified to work by slotting out the center holes and using angled spacer washers.
