Default vortec intake

Can a standard intake be used on vortec heads? I was told all that is different is a couple of bolt holes need to ovaled,is that true?

This is for a small block.

They make vortech manifolds now. Why jack with an old manifold?
I think you are refering to the older sbc's around the time they went to centerbolt valve covers.
