I think the heads are different on a EFI 460 then a carb version so a older carb intake wont fit on a EFI motor. Jeff

I agree, The EFI head runners are not round like the earlier heads...I think they changed in '87? or some where around that time.

You might want to see if you can find the manifold gasket set for the EFI heads to compare them against one another...for your own piece of mind.
