Is that a 2G head with a 1G intake manifold?

yes, is that a bad thing? its what came with the car.

The intake runners on a stock 2G head are smaller than the intake runners on a 1G manifold. Combining these two creates a big step down into the head. Not a great setup.

School of thought is the 1G intake runners are too big, and generally only line up with a 1G head. Do NOT port the 2G head to match the 1G runners - not worth it. You would be better off locating a 2G intake manifold and porting the 52mm throttle body flange for the 60mm 1G throttle body instead.

Might as well run it for now, not a big deal. You can always upgrade down the road easily and mostly cheap with matching 2G intake, porting the TB to 60mm like Justin mentioned, and building a fresh 2g head. Keep up the good work, it's looking great!

what do you mean upgrade with a matching 1g intake? the po had the head ported to match the 1g intake that i have on the car? its already a fresh head to all new parts in it.

Thank you - that pic with the 2G gasket shows you how different they are.

I've seen this done much worse. What you have is good to go!
