RE: Spica intake manifold, 1750 vs 2000?

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@domain.elided>]

Thanks.  Yes, of course.  To clarify my original statement, the 2000 intake 
is essentially ported, e,g, very even match around the joint between the 
head and the intake.  The 1750's intake manifold port is smaller than the 
head, which may have been done to increase the velocity of the intake 
charge for low and mid range performance.  That is my question: Does the 
1750 need a smaller intake port?
