Thanks for the welcome guys. Yeah, I def. want to keep the velocity up for the very reasons mentioned. I think this could be a neat little project, but if it all goes to hell, I can always swap in a 300 from a later Ford. But, ehh..., that seems like the easy way out.
While I don't personally have a flowbench, there is one close by, but I'll probably only flow it when I think I'm at the final, detailing stages. This isn't an all out engine build, so it's kinda hard to justify the expense for multiple passes on the flow bench just for grins. Also, I'm not looking to radically reshape the ports/chambers just clean them up and balance them as much as possible.
The wings aren't really that big, just a lip that surrounds the seat entry on the port side, with a flat back wall. So think of the shared port as a "tee" intersection with the valves at either end and little dams or lips continuing the port entry walls. Clear as mud? Or said another way, think of the floor as a trough with the lips being the side walls. Total height is probably only 3/16" or so, but if I wanted to put a nice, say, 1/4-5/16" radius I would have to drop the edge by a fair bit more. The other ports look surprisingly good considering the era of the design.
And KS, the single ports are 3 and 4 with 1&2 and 5&6 being shared. So from a valve timing perspective, IIRC, it's equally spaced, just goofy in regards to flow and runner volume...
The pics kinda flatten out the "trough" a bit, but here they are. It's hard to get lighting in there without killing definition and dimensionality.
