Lloyd does great work.

Why port the stock intake for stock heads? Because the intake is the biggest restriction

You might want to ask what the original question of "port" meant. Did he mean match the throttle body openings to a larger throttle body, or match the cylinder intake openings to a different (larger) cylinder head port? In either case, a good machinist could set up the intake in a Bridgeport, and match the openings to a specific dimension or do a basic gasket match.
