Is there any difference between the tpi set-up from an 86 305 block to the 87' 305 center bolt motor that im getting ready to swap in. Im nearing completion on the new motor and thought i read somewhere that the intake was a little different.

 

The angle of the center bolts on the '87+ intakes changed to a different angle. I beleive quite a few people have had good luck just "hogging" the holes out.

 

which holes? would you happen to have pic? im guessing everything else will line up properly

 

the center two bolt holes on each side, going into the heads. - Just slot'em out a bit with a drill. - I bet it's been done more than the right intakes have been bought.....

 

thanks alot, i was nervous for minute there. anyone know of a good cam to run on this 87' roller cam 305 motor. i have headers, and a cat back system already. somthing streetable but noticable.
