		| I'm sorry to have been vague.  I do mean the chamfering out to the size of the  gasket.  I guess that really isn't port matching, huh?  My specific case was that I bought C7AE PI manifold that had been "chamfered out" as you say.  I did the required fix to the heat chamber and installed it on to my 428 CJ.   It ran well but didn't feel as sharp off throttle/low end.  I eventually changed manifolds to an offy dual four w/Edelbrock 500s - looked good but didn't run any better than the previous two.  Replaced that set up with a Edelbrock Performer/750 Edelbrock - whoa did that  provide tire roasting bottom end.  This was before the E-brock Perf. RPM was available.  I sold that C7AE PI to a friend who runs it on a '67 Fairlane GTA/428 bracket racer.  He's running the 324/500 solid Ford cam and says the manifold works well at the top end which is what he wanted.  I know that it seems that "chamfering out" the manifold should do some good but I've been told it doesn't help and can actually hinder.  My seat-o-the-pants experience seemed to support this theory.  I'd be real interested in hearing what others have to say.  |
