I’ve studied this apparent port mismatch back when Edelbrock was playing with offset port matching in the ‘70s. If you look at the top and bottom of the intake on the CJ head, they taper in to the same height as the 427MR so they’re really not as overly tall as they look. The mismatch of the intake actually “points” the mixture at a better angle in the head to the valve and stays out of the dead area on the floor. Also the lip from the relatively smaller intake port acts as an antireversion dam. This is just my opinion but seems to correlate with what the bow-tie guys were doing at the time.
