It's hard to describe, but the I I ports aren't *quite* siamesed; the 
port walls come to a triangular point (at least on this head). It's moot 
though. Even if you sawed and milled off the trough (SHUDDER) you'd end 
up with at best a 1/8" - 1/4" flat between adjacent intakes.

EFI would solve it all.

But not thinking about that now, on this car, at this time. First, the 
Howell on the Classic...
