Will a intake manifold for 327 Chevy work on 350 motor?

Generally, yes, a 327 Chevy intake manifold will work on a 350 Chevy small-block engine. Both engines share the same bolt pattern on the block.

However, there are a few caveats:

* Specific Manifold Design: While the bolt pattern is the same, some manifolds might have design features that interfere with accessories on the 350 (e.g., the distributor, power steering pump, or alternator). This is more common with aftermarket high-performance manifolds than stock replacements.

* Performance Considerations: A manifold designed specifically for a 327 might not be optimally sized for a 350. The 350 has a larger displacement, so a manifold optimized for a 350 might provide better airflow and performance. While it will work, it might not be the *best* performing option.

* Carburetion: Make sure the manifold is designed for the type of carburetor you intend to use (e.g., 4-barrel, 2-barrel).

In short, it *will likely* bolt on, but a 350-specific manifold is usually recommended for optimal performance. Carefully inspect the manifold and engine bay before installation to ensure proper clearance for all components.
