First time engine swap

Im swapping a carb 305 to an L98 350 in my 86 camaro. I have a vortec intake manifold and vortec heads, will I need anything else to use the vortec heads? Also, I'm looking for a gasket seat but Im not sure what to order, I would appreciate any links to something that will work for me. Do vortec heads use different gaskets then the stock 305/350 heads? Everything else should be the same right? water pump and brackets, etc. The heads are 906 vortecs

Re: First time engine swap

You will need vortec specific intake gaskets and intake bolts everything things else will bolt right up.
