The bolts and intakes are not different, however I guess the guy knows he won't have an oil filler in front of the intake anymore.

The early style 327's (as well as 265 and 283's) had the oil filler in the front of the intake, not in the valve cover. If the guy still has stock valve covers he's going to have to change them or he won't have any place to put in oil.
