87+ heads aren't vortec pattern. They have the same intake bolt pattern as before, but with the center bolts at a different angle. The vortec pattern is something entirely different.

Less of a vacation and more of a fact-finding mission.

Yeah, the company is paying me to look around and see if I want to live here.

I would have taken the Grand Prix if I'd known whether I'm staying in Canada.
