429/460 manifolds

Are all 429/460 engines dimensionally the same to allow intake manifold swapping between early and late model engines? Does anybody have an interchange manual or manifold dimensional data? All of this is assuming no machining has been done to appreciably change the factory dimensions. Researching viability of converting to factory EFI. Thanks to those who replied to my previous EFI question.

I believe you'll need to switch to the fuel injection heads, the intake ports on the F.I. are smaller. That then creates another problem because the F.I. exhaust ports are also different and your exhaust manifolds will not match.
