It a special order retainer kit from your local dealer. Dealer item only. Cost you about 40 bucks
no such thing as a vortec 5.3 tbi
you can as long as you use your TBI heads if you want to use the vortec heads with TBI you will need a special intake manifold or a carb manifold with a adapter to mount your throttle body to the carb manifold heres some more info TBI heads will mount to the vortec block TBI intake manifold has 12 bolts vortec intake manifold has 8 bolts
It will as long as the 305 is a VORTEC ENGINE TOO.
Look at the intake manifold. A vortec engine has 8ea. All the others have 12ea.
Yes they are the same.
On valley cover plate underneath intake manifold. Must remove intake manifold to get to them.
A vortec 350 has a two piece intake manifold, with the upper portion being plastic.
yes they will fit, but you will need an intake manifold compatible with vortec heads if you plan on reusing the carburetor
No it will not, Totaley different.
No not even close.
That engine has 2 of them and there underneith the intake manifold. You will have to remove the intake to get to them.
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.
