porting question

i dont like the looks of this
the left is my ported exhaust port and the right is the header i am using. the problem i see is the header ports are 5/16" taller overall than the head ports. i can fill the flanges with weld and blend it all into the tube to have a smooth transition from the square exhaust port to a square flange and then into the round header tube. i can make this all very smooth and blend nicely. would it be worth it? is it a problem? it aggravates me. maybe im just too attentive to detail.

I took my 302 heads out the the header gasket with no problem at all just don't take to much off the bottom work more on the top of the runner.

I'd leave it. Having the header inlet slightly larger than the exhaust port inlet can work as a bit of an anti-reversion device.

Only raise the roof alittle "the whole roof not just the very end", leave the rest alone.

I would leave it. If the ports were done by a pro, or with the aid of a flow testing, best leave them alone in my opinion. I have found on E7s and Ps that the exhaust port likes a little step, no less than 1/8", on the roof. Your CFM may vary....
