Quick heads question

I'm not 100% sure but I think that they can. And 1987+ have center head bolt pattern.

Depends what year head and what year intake, but they can be made to work in any case.

Re: Quick heads question

Well, Its going to go from an 87 corvette, don't know what it has (tpi, carb, or tbi). If it is anything but tpi I am going to put my 305 tpi set up on it. And change injectors and ecm

On to or from '87 Vette?
'87 Vette heads are alum ; have same 6 bolt intake pattern and angle as normal SBC heads
F-Body cast iron heads have same 6 bolt pattern but different bolt angle on the 2 center bolts

Re: Quick heads question
