Default Edelbrock rpm heads and weiand stealth intake manifold holes do not line up

I have edelbrock rpm heads and a weiand stealth intake.
When I put on the intake the holes for the bolts do not line up. This sbc intake is the earlier idle-6800 rpm (the current version is idle-6400 rpm, not sure it that makes a difference) Has anyone experienced this issue?

if the misalignment is top to bottom not side to side this can be corrected by machine work or different thickness intake gasket.

Were the heads milled?

Heads were probably milled, if the intake is not too far off you can elongate the holes on the intake
