There are a couple of different intake configurations.....Standard is 16 bolt...Two little bitty 1/4 bolts per port. Then there are the SS/AH heads with only 1 bolt per port also 1/4 and the other is welded up and then they port right thru it....Then there are Indy intakes with only 6 bolts for even bigger ports....where the bolts are centered between each port. There is a reason a single carb intake can now out run the cross rams of old.

So you will have to make a choice with a 572, typically 4.5 bore x 4.5 crank, run big ports or be constrained by the smaller bolts right next to stock ports.....I would pick and engine builder, and get all my parts from one source. If you don't, mixing and matching parts can be a real headache.

Some heads have the valves rotated and require certain pistons, etc...For me, If I were to build another, I would do a Callies Iron block, and probably Eddy heads.

But choose a builder like Bob George Racing or Ray Barton or Tim Banning right by you, and source all your parts thru one of them. Tim has some really awesome stuff he does and he only uses Stage V heads and they are not cheap, but his require no gaskets for the intake.
