You want 87 to 95 intakes. The stock HO intake is ok for 305 performance.

TBI would only work for TBI. Are there 2 intake bolts going straight in? Or are there none? These are the two bolts in the middle near the carb flange. After 86 with center bolt covers has the 2 bolts going straight in. 96 and after which is Vortec have no bolts there at all.

Most after market intakes now have slotted holes for the middle 2 holes so will handle 1955 to 1995 small block Chevy. 1996 and after..., (Vortec heads) have to use Vortec compliant intake.

Yep, I remembered we slotted one, a 87 to 85, or vise versa.
