Default Cross utilization? Plenums

Was curious if the plenum and runners off a 87 chevy 305 are the same as on a 87 TPI 350 vette? Also, what about the manifold base? Appreciate any input! Thanx!

Wait!!! I changed my mind!!!



The RUNNERS off the 305 will be MUCH easier to polish up than the cast Corvette runners.
Fuel rails ... DIFFERENT.

Otherwise, samo, samo.

Manifold base is different too. Center two mounting bolt holes on either side are drilled at a different angle on the Camaro/Firebird manifold. Also the EGR systems are not compatible. The plenum extensions are different too. Corvettes are aluminum while the other type is plastic.
