Probably. But you may need to enlarge the 4 center bolt holes, as the angle is a little different.
NEW ANSWER: That is TRUE when you install a TBI / Throttle body injection intake on an early modal carbureted engine / set of heads. You can't drill the intake bolt holes out to make it fit on a vortec engine / HEADS. Reason being is because the bolt holes in the vortec heads and intake are straight up and down.
Look at the intake manifold. A vortec engine has 8ea. All the others have 12ea.
No because the ports on a tbi head are different than the ports on a vortec head, vortec heads need a vortec intake however you can switch a carburated engine to a tbi engine because the heads are the same
It will as long as the 305 is a VORTEC ENGINE TOO.
Regardless of the block, you have to use Vortec heads to use a Vortec intake.
You will need an after market Vortec Intake None FI 4BRL set up. The vortec engine has longer runners to increase air speed for the vorteciy action of the heads.
The big difference with a vortec vs normal gm motors is vortec has different head design and the intake manifold have bigger runners. In 1995 vortec heads still used T.B.I injection with the top end of the engine being vortec head and intake mainfold.
That engine has 2 of them and there underneith the intake manifold. You will have to remove the intake to get to them.
NO it will not. You would need the heads off the vortec engine to make it all work. The 96 that you are talking about should be a VORTEC engine already from the factory. But you may have an early 96 and that is why it is a TBI engine. That was the year they switch to a vortec. 96 TBI no such animal,TBI OBD2 no
it will work I have vortec heads on a 72 400 small block, I had to get the heads reworked for the 400s water ports or steam port and a vortec type style intake will be needed
The knock 1 sensor on a Vortec 4.8 is located on the top of the engine. You will have to remove the intake to gain access to replace it.
The egr valve on the 1999 vortec v6 is bolted to the intake valve. It is just behind the distributor.
Under the upper intake assembly
