The only "porting" that might be done is to remove any ledges sticking out in the down stream flow. Make a pattern of the exhaust ports with a light peice of cardboard, place it on the manifold(s) and wherever the manifold sticks out into the exhaust port openings of the pattern, remove that area to fit the pattern and blend/taper it into the manifold.

Interesting subject. I would think that what Harte3 said would certainly help, as would cleaning up the entire manifold ports with a 120 grit wheel.
