You are the one that brought up port matching ........
“Porting” and “port matching” are two different operations, and are, therefore, two different topics.

Why would you present solutions (bogus or not) without knowing the nature of the problem?
The reason is that if the solution is not helpful to the person that started the thread it might be helpful to other people ........
OK. You posted a load of off topic BS, hoping that it would help someone other than the OP. That tells us, it is not about the OP. It is about someone else, who might possibly have the same, or a similar, question/problem.
Sounds like one of those forums where the fiction is found.

........ If the advice is not helpful to the person that started the thread then too bad ........
Yeah, thats it. Give them a load of BS. Serves them right for expecting a straight answer to a straight question.
valley olds wrote:

Yeah, thats it. Give them a load of BS instead of asking for clarification. That'll show them.

Do you know, for a fact, if that 10 second 307 had 5a heads or 7a heads? ........
Is your question a smokescreen to avoid answering mine? To answer yours: Yes, I do.
Now. What was your point?

Still assuming, there actually is turbulence at a negative pressure. How much of the head is exposed, and how much turbulence is involved?

As for power gain/loss I dont know ........
So, you advise against using that manifold, but you do not know why. We can talk about the mismatched headers, later.
valley olds wrote:
........ and that in order to make power you need a smooth transition of air into and out of the engine .........
Yes. That is common knowledge. How does it apply to the possible gains/losses I might expect when using that particular manifold, with my 7a heads, on my 307?

These/those forums are notorious for their misinformation. How does one separate the fact, from the fiction?

Different thread, different subject, and different poster. Nothing to do with this discussion.

Read it again. This time, read what is actually there.

Yes. Several (nine?) years ago, when the author was a regular on all the Olds forums.

There was no advice given. What is your point?

No one said it is, or is not, a good idea.

That is because, as yet, there is no answer. It is not possible to give directions, without knowing the desired destination.
Without the information I requested, any advice is nothing but BS.

That sentence would have been okay ........
You have TOC confused with those other forums, you visit.
It was dead on, and it was in post #2. Right where it is supposed to be.

Here is the rest of it, again:

Until the goal (destination) is defined, the map cannot be drawn.
