Engine porting
#143
Do you mean the bottom of the port runner or the bottom of the port opening into the combustion chamber? I'll have to look at how much space I have to go up on the secondaries...if I remember, there wasn't tons of room.
As promised, here are a few pics of the port runners after I've hogged them out a bit. The actual shape of the port inlet (LIM to block) has not changed. I've just opened it up on the inside, removed the casting and any noticeable restrictions. I've tried to "square" the runner internally as much as possible as well.
Here are the primaries. Stock on the left. I've take tons of material off the top as the casting was pretty bad, as you can see, in that area. I've circled and scribbled over the casting edge on the stock port (left) where I have removed material on the rigth primary port.

On to the secondaries. Again, I removed all of the nasty casting flash and surface. I did recontour and remove material as well and again, I tried to add a bit of a more square runner length. I'm also making it as straight a shot as possible and smoothing the back wall for a more gentle transition into the back of the port as it makes it's turn and enters the engine.

You think so huh? It was really convex before and someone said that I could remove more material :-) I'm just a little bit on this side of chicken because if I do break through, I'll have a tough time getting one cosmo plate.
