This is why you should port match your intake (pics)

Needles to say, I’m sending this intake back, but I thought I would share the pics before I do. Brand new Victor intake, the intake runner is covered up ~0.1" by the gasket (the one on the left)...I'm fine with grinding away material for a port match, but I don't want to epoxy a brand new intake due to core shift and casting flaws.



Here is a shot of the whole side.



I have been saving/waiting for a Victor intake for a while…looks like I will be waiting longer.
