A few other=20 details about these aluminum housings-  You are correct that=20 the inlet ports are cast into the housing, but not cut through on = the rotor=20 side.  That makes them perfect for PP engines right out of the = box.  They can cut cut any side port you want, within limits of the = casting, pretty much like a stock housing.  Considering the = price of=20 these housings, I'd certainly have them do the porting, since I=20 couldn't stand messing one up.  
 
The inlet=20 ports that are cast into the housings match the REW intake = manifold=20 pattern, so  3rd gen intake would = fit.
