Pretty much what nightmist said. It's nice and flat and straight, really good casting compared to the 351c two piece intake I got from them 3 years ago. I like the rough un finished ports cause honestly with all the heads and port configurations now most any intake you get is gonna need at least port matching. Threads were nice and clean and rolled, not real sharp and jagged like some of there older stuff. My biggest issue is the small pushrod holes but there seems to be plenty of beef to open them up some as long as your careful and go in the right direction. In my opinion it's well worth the money and with a little massaging it will be just fine, beats the hell outa a $1600.oo blue thunder that you can't even get. I'd recommend it as long as you know there will be some massaging.
Ok, now, go ahead, tell me how f**ked up I am for getting speed master equipment. I'm just a poor boy pay check to pay check kinda guy that's not afraid of widdling on stuff. Besides my dad was a TV repairman and had an awesome set of tools, I can fix it..
