Tpi Heads
I HAVE A 1989 CAMARO RS WITH A 305 TBI. I AM SWAYING IT OUT FOR A TPI UNIT FROM AN 86 VETTE. BUT IT WONT FIT BECAUSE OF THE HEADS. I NEED THE CASTING AND PART NUMBER SO I CAN FIND A GOOD PAIR OF HEADS. DOES ANYONE KNOW THESE NUMBERS? IF SO GET BACK TO ME PLEASE. 
THEY 89 AND 86 HEADS HAVE A DIFFERENT ANGLE ON THEM SO I CANT SWITCH THEM OUT YET.

Technically, you can mod the '86 TPI intake to fit your heads. The only thing you have to do is open up the (2) center bolt holes on each side. Use some RTV on the bolts, and washer and you'll be fine.
But PLEASE NOTE, I've done this several times, and eventually, you will get a bit of oil seepage past the bolt. Nothing major, but just to tell you up front.
