I have gaset matched a couple lt1 intake and it was rather quick and easy not much harder that porting a throtle body. My friends had his intake manifold ported and matched to his heads and both where gasket matched with great results I think it was $500 for heads and intake at a local shop.

if you do it your self a dremel with several different grinding sanding and polishing tips are needed as well as wome wd40 a permenant marker or metal die a steady hand some patience and a case of beer. It is very simple to gasket match if you have a steady hand and can use a dremel ok.

Not worth the trouble.

I "think" the intake ports are slightly bigger than the heads intake ports.
