[DeTomaso] Intake installation tips?

[George Luif]

It looks like someone converted your heads to be used on a Windsor  
motor or Clevor as it is called by drilling holes in the intake face  
to correspond to the holes in a Windsor manifold.  Or you have Boss  
302 heads on there. Boss 302 heads have slightly smaller chambers  
resulting in a bit higher compression.
      If the holes are perfectly round, they are converted and you  
can drill them to install freeze plugs to block off the holes.

Good luck,
George
