Bill, if you're going to eliminate all the 'stuff' and the port will always be open, why not remove the wall between the side ports and make them one?
After reading Paul Yaw's site, specifically this page:

I wouldn't want to do that without something to verify the flow characteristics. I was amazed at how easy is was to make things worse by making them bigger.

I agree, Dale. In place of actual testing (which will require I build a flow bench, find some place to put it, and then actually learn how to use it), I would accept someone knowledgable saying that it is a good idea. I've been studying this idea for a while. Looking through another list, there is a poster named "Judge Ito" that everyone seems to revere for his porting prowess. His take on opening up and combining the 6 to make it only 4 ports would give it the top end power of a peripheal port, but would severely compromise the low end power and idle. As Bill alluded to earlier, who cares.
I'm still building fuselage ribs, but in a few weeks I'll be digging a lot harder to nail down this will actually work, as I begin to build an intake manifold.
