Are you sure you've got the right manifold for the block?

Do you know if the heads or deck surface was milled. If so, the intake will sit at a different orientation negating getting the bolts in. There is a formula in engine building books to mill the bottom and the sides of the intake for a given milled head and or block deck surface. A lot of people slot the bolt holes for a short-cut.
