Youll need a different tpi intake base. scoggin-dickey, umong others, sells em. Thers also a whole bunch of other issues to be delt with when you get a cam. The pressed in studs will give problems, do a search on the boards.

If all you want to do is bolt on the head and intake, then you shouldn't have a problem. But if you plan a cam swap in the future, you should look into upgrading the springs. You will need to reloacate your coil, the intake uses a different torque pattern/specs, headers shoudl bolt up fine. The intake will need a couple little things, plugging unused holes and such. Other than that should be a standard head swap.
