This intake says vortec intake with oil fill tube. might help give you the look you are after

Thanks for replying to my thread. My builder had also mentioned the edelbrock intake with the oil fill tube as an option. I have looked several times at the catalogs and online but I am pretty sure the intake is the EPS Performer intake and it intended for the 1986 and earlier heads. I may be mistaken but I do not believe it is compatible with the Vortec heads.

The Vortec style intake manifolds uses 4 bolts per side to mount to the Vortec heads. The earlier intake manifolds use 6 bolts per side to mount to the heads.
