Question about carb and efi intake manifolds
#2
Completely. There's very little differences between the EFI and carbureted blocks.
The issue you may run in to is some binding with the EFI exhaust manifolds. There are a few places where they try to occupy the same space (since they were never designed to go together.) On mine, when I put EFI exhaust manifolds with my carb intake, it was one of the eyelets on the exhaust manifold, and a nub that stuck out on one of the runners. A little grinding is all that's needed to remove both.

EFI head has (3?) more bolt holes than a carbed head, but they are otherwise the same on the outside. I believe the extra bolt holes were simply used to allow easier mounting of the manifolds since the 2 exhaust and 1 intake were not joined on the EFI like they were on the carbed setup. On the EFI, you have to hang 3 seperate pieces that still use the shared bolts to hold them on.
