Isn't the block narrower due to not being as tall? Would that mean shaving some off each side to make it fit?

The manifold will bolt on, the bolt pattern is the same, but you need to make two 1/2" thick aluminum spacers for each side to make the angles line up properly. The ports are slightly off, but you can use the 1/2" thick aluminum to blend them in pretty good. Use some good RTV between the intake and spacer, gaskets between the spacer and head. Or make a thin gasket instead of just RTV. If you're using the cast iron intake you might want ot use steel for a spacer, if you have it.

Also, I have been searching for a 4v manny for my 327 and everyone wants an arm and a leg for one. I matched up a 327 intake gasket and a 360 gasket and they are both really close. I seem to remember hearing at one time that a second gen manifold will fit a 327 with minor alterations. Anyone know for sure? I can get a stock 4V from a 360 for about $10 so I don't mind messing with it for an afternoon to get it to fit......Russ
