Re: vortec on a gen 1 small block questons.

The 350 engine will take a set of vortec heads, as I have put a set of 96 vortec heads on a 350 out of a 90 corvette and they fit right up. The intake bolt pattern is different for the vortec heads and the right way is to purchase a different intake that aligns the holes properly. Many have taken the old intakes and reworked the center holes so that they can put the bolts in at the different angle than the older heads used.

The flow characteristics of the vortec heads is significantly better than a standard Gen 1 head.
