Intake Port Tumble

It seems I have few choices. Find an intake with a smaller cross section, or put a steep angle on the entry at the pinch and do what I can to decrease the radius over the hump.

I suspect I'm fighting a losing battle anyway, as you can see in the pic of the intake pocket, the removal of the 60 deg angle has left a rather large reverse radius under the seats on the short side. This was done by a shop that's been in business since 1958, you'd think they'd know better.

I'm not sure how much meat is in the short sides on these heads, but given the overall lousyness of these castings I'm afraid to go any farther towards the seats, so I'll have a dead area there as well. Anyway, here's a couple pics of the unfinished pockets. Still have some work to do so be kind, I'm no professional lol.
