Here's my opinion.

Derek,
The CJ heads do have the Low Riser style intake port but that is not why they were chosen. The real advantage to these heads is the higher and larger exhaust port which flows as well as any unported FE exhaust. The 2.09 / 166 valve sizes also help.

The Low Riser intake port was used on all the early FE heads. It is too low for intake manifolds to feed properly. That is why the slightly smaller Medium Riser style intake port was used for mid - 1965 and later 427 production.

All the early 1958 Edsel and Ford 352 / 332 engines had machined combustion chambers. It was found that money could be saved by casting them the right shape and skipping that machining operation. They are sought after more for the small combustion chamber size than any other reason, ports are in need of work to flow well.
