The size is not the problem, it is the shape of the port, and the awful dogleg so close to the short turn of the valve seat. Airflow wants to take the shortest distance between the carburetor and the chamber, which causes the air/fuel to shear over the short turn if it is misshaped the least amount. The short turn makes or breaks the FE intake port. Get it right, and the ports can go to 320+ on the R head with large valve, and 310 on CJ is possible with larger valve. Not easy, but can be done. I have ported hundreds of the sbf heads, and I have yet to find one that will go 190 cfm with stock valve size and stock valve job from the factory. JMO, but it is from my experience. Joe-JDC
