Alright, I have my B intake manifold, cleaned and painted -- ready to go. I have my 500cfm Edelbrock 4 barrel carb, I have my modified 56 passenger car 4 barrel linkage/bellcrank/firewall pivot/kickdown rod for an original Fordomatic setup (55 Club Sedan). When I put the phenolic spacer on the intake, I notice that the holes for the original Holley are a bit smaller. Wouldn't the recommendation be to port those holes out to match the spacer? Or is this just a little tedious for a stout street motor (292, C2AE block, .060 over, mild cam, G heads, really, really torquey!)? If I do port, should I just bevel, or have a 90 degree edge like the original holes would have been? Any of this making sense?Hehe
