Weiand Stealth 8022 - bad ports, can it be fixed or should I send back?

How many times will you have to send back till you get one you can just bolt straight on? Shipping Back and forth is time and possibly $$$ if you pay for additional shipping, porting it is $$$ and time. Just lay a gasket on it, and open the windows up and then blend in as far as you can into the ports. Expect to do that on any new Weiand, Action+ included. Or if you truly want something ready to bolt on just scrounge up a little bit more coin and get an Air Gap and slap it on out of the box. Because you can with those, Weiands you can too but you’d be better off finishing up what they don’t. I’d be hitting it with the grinder

Take it back and get an Edelbrock
My buddy bought the same one last summer for a LA and it was even worse two bolt holes were horrible , obviously they must be imported now .
