And it didn’t affect how it ran.
I purchased a ‘71 455 HO intake back in the early ’90s and of course it looked much worse than that iron intake and much like the current repros, it’s not like it slowed those cars down and made them run like turds.
People get too worked up about these things, some intake to head port mismatch doesn’t really matter much if at all on your average street engine.
