Will port matching a 351C torker intake to the heads be worth the time and effort? Keep in mind I've never done any porting before, but I'm thinking I might as well start out on something that's hard to screw up and cheap to replace if I do. The heads are 70 4V and the intake ports will be epoxied. If I should try my hand at this intake, what exactly should I do with it? Thanks.

A half inch deep tapered match port to the gasket is all that I usually recomend to novice or first time porters.  ------------------

Okay, even I can handle that. Will that net me a noticeable gain on the dyno, or is it pretty much just to gain a little experience?------------------

You can expect to gain about 5 to ten with a good match port as long as you have some camshaft. ------------------
