I am just finishing mine up, I port matched mine, it was pretty bad in terms of both port entry and shape. FYI I dyno'd mine with a carb first. Really just a cam breakin and a pull to determine total timing, and even with a set of ported iron truck heads, made 490 hp
I recommend if you are going to run a heater and the stock gauge, you add a bung for the coolant temp sensor. I do a second weld-in bung right next to the factory temp sender hole.
I also added a fitting for the PCV so I didn't have to run one in front, but that's just for looks, the front or rear port would work fine
It's a slow install, hopefully it runs well. Edelbrock did some odd things, throttle linkage and ball location is much different than a Holley without a lot of additional holes/options, the injector harness doesn't seem too well thought out, and I don't love their crossover line and dead-head injector rail feed. However, all that whining will go away if it runs well.
I think I will have it running in 2 weeks or so, other paying projects in the way, but coming along
