Re: intake head help
Nothing to do with intake port size to match the intake port.
A stock head of a certain port size (intake gasket ) may have been available with different valve sizes
Also nothing to do with the engine management type; MAF vs MAP

Re: intake head help
I'm guessing that this is your question. Center Bolt holes on SBC Intakes changed in '87 to a different angle. If you are using older heads ( '86 or before), then the two center bolt holes on your intake will need to be slotted to allow the bolt the proper angle to fit the older heads. Alternatively, you can find an '86 or earlier intake.

Re: intake head help
Guys,
I'm doing the opposite. I have an 86 TA and aquired centerbolt heads. Will the 86 intake bolt up to the centerbolt heads?
