What kind of intake? IDA I guess? I would say no. Unless someone has done it and tested the before and after on a flow bench.
Some people port the lower part that goes to the engine to port match the engine to the manifold, but this will decrease flow.. At least, on a stock manifold.

I'm with jayroc; is it a RB 4 barrel manifold? If so don't bother porting, use a open spacer instead, easily obtainable and also easily reversable in case it doesn't work.
I'm using a 2" phenolic 4-holer with the secondary's blended together at the moment. Seems to work well.

Ya use a 1" open spacer. But if you have a carburetor choice, go with a mechanical secondary carb. Edelbrocks are AWESOME.
