High guys i am new here i have two cars. One is a 1983 trans am 383 stroker tko500 and dana 44 f.body rear end. Back on black i built this myself. The second car is under construction its a 1978 vette 350 stock and 4speed. I have been building hot rods my whole life i am a autobody man/painter by trade. I have 20 years in the business. I am 37 years old. I also port old iron and love the old intakes. I have a low hood on booth cars so i just finished porting my old edelbrock torker1 intake. The old x plane style. I have a torker two i can port up as well for the vette when i start the topend build. How do i add pics on here so i can show you my work?

Old intakes are not functional performance items. They were only larger runners without any thought about being a tuned length decreasing diameter port. The short plenums cause fuel separation. They were garbage.

People port matching small runners to larger heads have actually ruined the intake manifold.

Even Victor jr intakes were a poor excuse. You had to send them away to get flow bench ported and tested. Mine came back with air directors called turtles epoxyed in the bottom of the plenum

id like to get back into it but probably on aluminum heads, i think i can still taste the iron grindings . i used to take stuff pretty far when i was 19 i put my first set of tubes in a set of small block heads. i had some really good teachers back then, and learned a lot.i agree in a lot of cases you will accomplish little with an intake manifold, but not every case.
i used to do certain parts like break up the top of the intake runner into sections then duplicate the same part on the rest of the ports to help keep it consistent. anything you can do to keep consistency will help.
i once had a big block chrysler head cut into sections so i could see where i could grind , my Dad was a licensed Mechanical Engineer ask me what i was attempting to do and then asked what about core shift? well that was another lesson. most of my stuff worked pretty well but stop leak was my friend, but i came to find out that wasn't unusual back then. good luck with you projects.
