That is a fact. Vortec intakes don't even have the center bolt holes. Just the pairs on the ends. It's a whole different animal.

Other considerations....

-You have to have self aligning rocker arms. You can get them off any center bolt head or vortec head engine or buy new.
-Obviously different intake as discussed above along with the vortec specific intake manifold bolts and gaskets
-Center bolt type of valve covers and gaskets
