Head Port size

Well, I saw a lot of intakes this weekend, many were Edelbrock Performers. I saw only 2 Wieand dual plane and not what I wanted.

Out of the 30 or so eddys I looked at I found one with even ports on both sides with all ports having a uniform port size. Was there a quality control issue with these manifolds at one point?

I picked up the one good Performer for $100.00 and plan to have it bead blasted to clean up the old paint then clear coat it to keep it looking good.

( saw 3 LD4B manifolds, asking big bucks for those)
