tbi serpintine with Vortec heads??

Found a sweet deal on some local Vortecs... I'd like to use them but
this is a LOW buck build on a 350 Throttle Body.... 1991 Suburban..

I need to know if the Vortecs accessory holes will work with my
stock serpintine accessories, brackets... etc..

If they won't fit with the accesories I currently have... Im not getting
them..

I've got a manifold lined up if they will work with my factory accesories..

OH but be aware you need a new intake manifold


Vortec heads have a different bolt pattern and gasket style for their intake.

Re: tbi serpintine with Vortec heads??

All the accessory holes are the same, so the bracketry should match up just fine. Just need to get a Vortec style intake. DO NOT get one of those intakes that claim to have bolt patterns for a regular SBC head and Vortec head - the bolt pattern AND the port dimensions/locations are different. Get a Vortec-specific manifold.

Good luck!
