Piker Porting (Intake Manifolds)

Take a cheap fiber intake gasket and mount it up. Torque it down....remove it and look at both sides. Youll see the port prints on both sides and use those to determine if the ports are matched up. Belling out either port to match the gasket is not going to help as they need a smooth transistion, not a big ground out ditch to traverse and then neck back down again into the intake port. Just dont go crazy. Why someone is not making ultra precise injection molded high temp intakes for these older V8's baffles me. A lot cheaper and more precise than sand cast AL with all its sacrificial cores, likely shifting and lack of superior O-ring sealing the plastics offer.
