NO. The 86 is not a roller block.
The heads will fit the block, but the vortec intake manifold will not bolt to the old style heads.
Yes they will with no problems. They are basicly the same heads, Just different CCs.
Yes they will fit right on there with no machine work are problems.
Yes, they will work. but you wont gain power because the little 305 isn't putting out enough flow to keep up with the heads
NO.. It won't even bolt up.
it will work I have vortec heads on a 72 400 small block, I had to get the heads reworked for the 400s water ports or steam port and a vortec type style intake will be needed
That's what should be on it.
In most cases either will work. but you know how you are building your engine so you should know better then I do whats best. NO!!! if you have the serial # of the cam get ahold of comp cams and they can tell you if it is a roller or flat tappit cam they are totaly diffrent cams and WILL NOT INTERCHANGE LIFTERS
With the Throttle Body injection and a TBI intake from Edelbrock for vortec heads yes it will work. If you mean using the vortec injection with the TBI electronics then no it will not work.
The word 'vortec' is the name of the cylinder heads used in Vortec Model engines in the year 96'+ The engines that use the Vortec cylinder heads are the 4.3L Vortec, 5.0L Vortec, 5.7L Vortec, and 8.1L Vortec. They were only put on Gen I small blocks. If they are any other size Chevy engines and still retain the Vortec name then it's purely a marketing name, the same goes is it is later than a Gen I engine. For example the new 4.2L I6 from GM retains the name Vortec, but it does not actually use Vortec heads as these heads were only made for OHV engines, and the I6 is an OHC engine. The Vortec heads are based on the LT1 and LT4 head after they were discontinued along with their reverse flow cooling design. It is simply an effect made in the head similar to a vortex to better atomize the fuel and air intake charge when entering the combustion chamber, it is not a different type of motor.
