OK. 1997 5.0 with after market headers not available. Anyone hear of porting the stock headers? Worth the work and any benefit? Risk of weakening the cast structure?

Anyone with experience on this? Comments would be eagerly accepted.

I saw a set on ebay for sale that were "ported". Untill you can get rid of that horrible 3 into 1 and 2 into 1 design they're pretty much junk.
 






You cant polish a turd. It will do nothing other than cost you a few die grinder bits. Dont do it, it wouldnt even remotely be worth the effort.
