Bolt hole dilemma.

You need to drill them at a different angle
Pre 87 heads had all bolts in at the same angle
Post 87 heads had the bolt holes in the center angled more "skyward", so you just need to angle those holes slightly different. Places like summitracing.com sell little tools to help you drill it out.

I have access to a drill press that would probably do the trick right?? What do you mean by skyward do you mean more vertical?? like straight down anyways thanks for the help
