Default 85 motor swap help with technicals

i did a search on the zz383 and did not find much help so i will ask the question

i have decided to do a motor swap over the winter and i like the ZZ383
? is who has used this crate motor in there vette and what intake are you running

i know the dyno numbers on this ZZ383 is from a carb setup but i am thinking of a stealth ram or miniram for mine if i understand this correct my torque numbers will go up but my HP will go down a bit usin fuel injection
i am also trying to figure out if the heads on this crate motor are straight plug or angle

It uses Fastburn heads, I thought those were angled plugs.

If it was me I'd use a MR on that engine, it shouldnt lose much if any.

Well thats not true, Fastburns are far far better than the 85s iron heads. The irons are straight plug though.
