Early 5.7 Hemi head porting

I thought about it, but since I'm running the factory 06 plastic intake, there isn't much I can do in terms of making it larger. It's hard to tell by the pictures, but the intake port isn't a rectangle, it actually tapers on one side. I was going to open that up to make it the same size, but looked at the intake and it is the same shape. There isn't much room before it gets into the o-ring seals on the intake, so I'll leave it the same size. It may be marginally larger just from cleaning the casting texture off, but I doubt that makes any significant difference. The exhaust on the other hand, I will likely open up the tops and sides by gasket matching. I still need to order some header gaskets though.

Makes sense. I guess the only real reason would be to run some other intake and if you plan to keep the stock one why worry about it.

Pretty sure there is some interference between the non-Eagle block and the Eagle intake anyway so only thing it would open up is if you wanted to run a 6.1 intake.

Since this isn't the end all build, better to keep it simple.
