Rams horn on vortec heads
Hey everybody. I'm about to swap my 327 out for a 283 that was built with vortec heads. I looked in the faqs but couldn't find whether they will fit. The pictures show them mounted to the 327. Thanks in advance...

Re: Rams horn on vortec heads
I'm pretty sure they'll bolt on no problem. The intakes are vortec specific but the exhaust retains the same bolt pattern.

Re: Rams horn on vortec heads
Why didn't you put those heads on the 327?

Re: Rams horn on vortec heads
The 283 came out of a friend of mines '66. He had it built at a speed shop and when they checked the heads they were cracked so he bought the vortec heads from summit. He then sold his truck and the engine needed a home so I bought it. The 327 was using oil on me. I'm giving it to another friend so he can rebuild it.

Re: Rams horn on vortec heads
Any manifold or header works on vortecs, they are normal SBC heads. Intakes the only real difference.

Re: Rams horn on vortec heads
Beautiful looking engine. What flavor of red is that? I notice many guys going toward red and away from the original orange.

Thanks, I hate to take it out but it is using too much oil. Believe it or not the can said chevy orange but it does look to be a little more red. Last edited by grubsster; 02-16-2018 at 11:52 PM. Reason: Spelling |

Re: Rams horn on vortec heads
Thanks all for the info. I was reading some other forums and had me concerned that they would interfere with the valve covers. I plan on just pulling the 327 and dropping the 283 in. Just wanted to be sure the exhaust would bolt up.
Now I need to figure out how to setup my TH-350 kickdown cable and bracket mounted to the vortec intake with an edelbrock 1406 carburetor. |
