Im confused, Im in the process of gathering parts for my ZZ4 install this winter.I have most intake parts and am now looking for a Edelbrock manifold.If you read the specs below you will see where it says, the heads are corvette 87 to 91 heads, but then it says the intake is a 55 to 86 bolt pattern..WTF..Is this because this engine was originally made and tested with a carb instead of TPI..I checked 2 other sites that carry this longblock and they both say the same thing..HELP.. I need to get a intake manifold but which Edelbrock do I need??? I haven't ordered the longblock yet so I can't look to tell which one it takes..Thanks....WW
Cylinder Heads - Part # 12556463 cast Aluminum 1987-1991 Corvette L98 Head. 58cc Combustion Chamber, 163cc Intake Runner Volume.1955-1986 Intake manifold Bolt pattern, "D" Shaped Exhaust ports,Centerbolt Only Valve Cover Bolt Pattern Layout,No Exhaust heat Crossover passages.Ends Of Heads Are Drilled For Standard Accessory Bolt Pattern. Angle Plug Configuration.
The 113 heads have the old style bolt angle on the center 4 bolts. You want the manifold that fits a stock vette head. No worries.
My TPIS manifold is machined for either style. Edelbrock likely is too.
