Many of these parts are over 50 years old , hard to find and have been massaged to death. Why not open it right up, if it's the right number of barrels from the original specified manufacturer , rochester, carter , holley , or ? bolts to the original manifold bolt pattern it's good to go.

Close enough doesn't work! Where do you cut it off, .001, .005, .010? I spent a lot of time being on the correct side of the cut off, It’s not that hard to do. There are already specs that can be slightly different. Tell me is you crank stroke +- .000? If it is how seriously are you working on a class car?
