I've modified older factory and aftermarket manifolds (pre 87) to work with these heads without any problems. To use an older intake you need only change the angle of the two center holes on either side. You can do this by using a 7/16" drill bit to and enlongate the holes. I would add a washer under the bolt here to help pull the intake down evenly. If your going to buy an aftermarket manifold then the Edelbrock is the way to go. Good luck.
