Planning on buying the Scoggin/Dickey Vortec TPI baseplate, but before I do where there any chevy vortec tpi intakes that will work for a swap? Going to the junkyard my does well make a day of it.

TPI, as most people know it here on this particular board was available on F and Y body from 1985 to 1992. The vortec heads that everyone is so crazy about these days to put on their Gen I SBC's were put into production circa 1996. GM never even came close to producing what you would be looking for in a boneyard.

pretty much what I thought. Or else scoggin dickey never would have made the base plate in the first place

said they milled .062 off the vortec head and used a .039 head gasket to yield 9.8 to 1 compression ratio.

Did you have to mill the heads?
Assuming you have a 305
