Are vortec heads compatible with TPI motor?
Just wondering if vortec heads go straight onto an l98 tpi motor or if they dont fit at all, or if they needs toi be modded?

Edelbrock also sells a tpi manifold for vortec heads. Also vortec heads don't have EGR ports.

If you are going to run an EGR, you need the Scoggin-Dickey or Edelbrock (they are both the same) manifold, and you will need the Scoggin-Dickey kit to take exhaust from your headers to run the EGR.

Thanks for that.
I think i'll leave it for now, was just thinking if the vortec heads were a lot better flowing than the stock then i'd get a set coz i can get a hsr for cheap for it.
but i think i'll spend the extra cash get the hsr and a set of good flowing 195's
