A really dumb sbc question...

Havent found a clear answer, so I hate to ask, but...

I ve got a 350 from a 88 truck that was tbi.. centerbolt v/c's..i put a performer intake on it that is specific to 88 to 95 motors. No issues. Also slipped in a cam.

question is about heads. I know I dont have vortech heads now, but are they a direct swap for my centerbolt heads? Im a lil confused cause I do understand they bolt up to intake differnt than old stlye heads, but with my stock heads do I have the old style pattern, the vortech pattern, or is 88 through95 a third, totally different pattern?

I see in jegs they seperate heads and intakes, just tryin to get myself into a set of vortechs and not sure of path I need to take.. Im sure a lot of u know the answer, so thanx in advance!
