Are the threads for the intake manifold bolts the same as the small block 350 with a regular intake like on the tbi 350? And if so what is the tap size?
This is a Vortec motor with Vortec heads, so the bolt pattern is different. The Vortec intake only has 4 bolts per side. They do sell a 12 bolt Air Gap intake for the SBC.
@@thousandpounddoggarage my heads have the guide built in just stock gen 1 350 but when I called jegs they said I couldn't use roller tips that I would have to grind and widen out the slot the pushrod slides into.
@@JorgeRamirez-mi2xv You mean widen the hole the pushrod rides in going down the the lifter? I opened mine up with a drill bit. If you mean where it rides on the rocker, that seems kind of weird.

I just realized you asked if the thread size is the same. I believe they are. Should be 3/8” / 16.
@@thousandpounddoggarage It's okay. Thank you very much for the info!
I have heads with no guide plates what type of rockers are you using.
I’m using stamped steel roller tip rockers from Comp Cams. They are self-aligning, I also don’t have guide plates.

Right now I just ordered stamp steel from comp cams non aligning non roller tip.
@@JorgeRamirez-mi2xv Hope they work out for you.
