No.

The intake ports are in different places. But it would be a very simple matter to swap a Vortec design intake on there at the same time as a head swap.

I haven't done this yet myself, but have done some research. Edelbrock has a couple of Vortec intake manifolds that will have the required vaccum ports. However, I don't believe that they have the EGR provisions because the heads don't. I can't remember right now where I saw this, but I believe Summit sells an EGR "re-routing" tube (five7kid knows what I am talking about). Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Do you live where the are visual emissions checks?
