Yes the 90 degree angles cast ears on lower left and right corners besides the easily noticed 7.5 cover is shorter than it is wide but the 8.5 cover is basically round height and width similar. Look under a S10 and see the 7.5 for reference

Besides just pull a tape measure vertical to 8.5 inch and see if it fits well between top and bottom bolts or not if these pics are not enough

I can go on on other advantages but I"m sure you would do some research. I believe edelbrock are only available in 400-455, not small block but can be modified to use on 350 or 403

the edelbrock heads are big block heads! Valves are to big and the port’s are too big kills bottom end power!!!
