Sometimes there is when using later model heads to replace the earlier heads. If memory serves me the intake bolt pattern changed in 1968(?). As long as your engine hasn’t been “zero decked” or you are using a cam with hellish lift you should be OK. If in doubt, put a piece of modeling clay on a piston top. Install the head and valve train for that cylinder. Pull the engine through two complete rotations. Remove the head and installed valve train and measure the valve impressions in the clay. As long as you have .050 or more clearance you should be good. Good to see you posting again, Adam.
