p4452893, Standard or W5 intake

70aarcuda said

so this leads to another question...if you have a standard LA intake manifold...just as a Victor...or Air Gap...can it just be redrilled to fit a W5 head...???

since that appears to be the only difference...and the w5 take a spacer at the end of the block..

You are correct, you just need to weld up the bolt hole and redrill. It's best to weld it up. A large runner W5 may have the intakes ports wider than the bolt spacing of a standard head, I'm not sure.

Are you sure the "460" is a W5.
I think the Large runner takes a spacer. I'm not to sure about these little in and outs to be hoinest with ya.

Name of thread changed to suite topic better.
