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
Regardless of the block, you have to use Vortec heads to use a Vortec intake.
yes ,I have change one out with a old 350 it had lot more power . I used the old heads to with vortec intake you have to slot the four bolt holes .but it will work.
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
If you are sure that it did not freeze and crack the block, Then the intake manifold gasket is leaking. That is a common problem with the vortec Chevy engines. You need to replace the gasket with a factory Chevy gasket from the dealer.
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
no
No, but if the 96 has the 5.7 Vortec engine then it will have different heads which give it more power. ETA Question: Can I put the '96 vortec heads and intake on the '93 engine? You will need a vortec specific manifold. Edelbrock makes one
No, a throttle body intake from a 1993 Chevrolet 350 will not fit directly onto a 1999 7.4L Vortec block. The 7.4L Vortec has a different bolt pattern and design, as it is part of a different engine family with a more advanced intake manifold system. Additionally, the Vortec engines typically use a different style of fuel injection and require specific intake manifolds designed for their configuration. Thus, modifications or an adapter may be necessary for compatibility.
No it Has a different bolt pattern because of the engine size
Yes, 350 Vortec heads can fit on a 305 Vortec block, as both are part of the small-block Chevy family and share similar bolt patterns. However, it's important to note that the compression ratio may change, and the engine's performance characteristics will be different due to the variation in displacement. Additionally, you should ensure that the intake manifold is compatible with the combination of heads and block being used.
The heads will fit the block, but the vortec intake manifold will not bolt to the old style heads.
Into the heads only.
