Will these heads fit a TPI intake?

Hey everyone,

Quick question...

Will heads off of a 79-80 sbc fit and 87 TPI intake?
I've read that most sbc heads are either 601s or 416s, but I'm not sure what my dad got them off of. But I know that he already has 194 valves in them. I won't have the casting number off of them until tomorrow evening.
The 87 intake if for everything pre-87 right?

Thanks,

No the intake bolt angle are wrong. Those heads are probably crap too.

LOL

Well I only wanted to slap them on because, my swirly ports need new valve seals. We were going to replace the seals, but I figured if I'm going to have them off, just slap a little better pair on it. I guess I'd be better off trying to go and find some TPI heads. heh

Thanks,

All hope might not be lost, that is until you know what casting number heads they are.
