RE: intake manifold polishing

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

Yeah, what Carson said!

Polishing the combustion chamber (what I had done) helps keep the heat
in the 
chamber and promotes better hp extraction.  My manifolds are ported on
both ends
to keep the air flowing.

Hey, got any more info on your '63, like condition, price and location?

...We port the manifolds, but don't polish them, like we used to. The 
porting stone leaves a fine pattern, that improves flow by creating a
swirl pattern in the air. This also increases the air speed. Hopes this 
helps you.
