So, a little bit of time and a chance purchase inspired me to do a bit of fine tuning. I saw an inlet/exhaust manifold on fleabay which I purchased (at the time not knowing the seller was one of our gang). When removed from the car these show clearly the mismatch and poor alignment of the ports between manifolds and cylinder head. So I had a go at rectifying that. Here is a before and after, I also ground out the sharp shoulders inside and did the same on the exhaust to "gas flow" the channels. I also did the same with the carb. inlet port, this was very obstructed and is now smoother in all areas. Attachment DeletedThe next job was to insulate the exhaust manifold, mostly to keep engine bay temps. down, but they say it also speeds up the gasses. I will add some to the downpipe as well for good measure. It is now a simple swap over, I doubt I will notice any difference but it will be more efficient for sure. Maybe I'll do a cylinder head now I have some experience.
