Default Vortec Heads on a 1981?

Does anyone make an intake manifold that fits Vortec heads and also allows you to use the factory carbuerator on a 1981?

Edelbrock part number 2116 will get you a Performer Vortec intake for a Q-jet.

Scoggin and Dickey a GM dealer in Texas makes to a stock cast iron q-jet manifold that fits vortec heads, thats what I,m using. I couldn't find an aftermarket mainifold that was low enough to use the stock hood and air cleaner.

Any Vortec manifold for a q-jet will work as long as a few things check out. You need provisions for EGR, there is a sensor at the front of the manifold, I don't remember if it's a temp sensor????? seems like it is. I'd have to go look at mine later, and deck height, you want to be able to close your hood. :cheers:
