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

Please understand, the intent of this post was not to bash Edelbrock. I know in the casting process this sometimes happens. I believe this is from “core shift”...the mold for the manifold is made out of sand. They actually had this on “How it’s Made” (science channel) a few months back…interesting process. It just looks like my manifold slipped through the QC check. I’m Just posting this so others know why you should take a look at your stuff before slapping parts together.
