Will this intake work?

Guys, let the "old fart" here say something about all this! After heaving and sweating, worrying end-strips slipped out of place (those good old cork ones, shrunk to half-size while still in the packaging), putting back in place those God-awful huge & heavy FE intake manifolds, I found that Ford supplied an ALUMINUM 4-barrel intake about '61 or '62 when they bagan touting "High Performance" 390.
Now THAT manifold was a breeze to work with. And I don't know whether it's ports were BIGGER, SMALLER, or tumbled the juice, or whatever, so DON'T ASK!

In 30 years of working on Fe engines I have Never seen this on a factory engine
The intakes are Always slightly smaller in port size
