the only trouble might be from the 4 intake bolts in the center.

Are '85 tpi heads a big improvement over L03 heads, or just a little better?

if you port and polish them, you should see a very nice improvement.

But I still need to know if they will bolt up before I go & buy them.I would hate to waste time and money.If it will bolt up,I'll tell ya all about it so we can do a tech article.Any could be better than those heads we have now.
