If by 5.7 you mean L31 Vortec 5.7 the answer is no. Camaros were never produced with the 8 bolt vortec pattern, the closest is the 93-97 LT1 and the bolt spacing is different on those.

Still not clear on which engine and which Camaro manifold, I was just guessing that it would be a Vortex because you said 5.7. The more information you give the better the answer you get.

It's not "obvious" that a tpi bolts up, and a 305 isn't a 5.7, which is what he asked about. Hence my question...
Actually it is obvious, both are SBC's and any SBC intake manifold with the 87-95 bolt pattern bolts up to any SBC with 87-95 heads whether TBI, TPI or carb.

Lol. If it was obvious the question wouldn't have been asked in the first place...

So you are saying you can tell the difference between a 305 and a 350 just by looking at them?

the tpi Corvette's with aluminum heads and perimeter bolt valve covers actually used the "traditional" sbc intake pattern. so those TPI bases will NOT work on 87-95 TBI. as far as 5.7l vs 5.0l most of the later blocks have it cast right near the bell housing and can be seen from the top. usually brake clean and a brush required on account of all the factory rust proofing......
