    there is no "size" needed for 190bhp, in fact you dont want to open the port up, its about shape

    Apple shape if I remember correctly. Read this book, very interesting. He built a 200+ pinto in the book IF my memory is correct. https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Modify-.../dp/0863430856

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Modify-.../dp/0863430856

    I do not know why the links fail.
    ”How to modify Ford SOHC engines”is the book title. Author; David Vizard.

    or you go the other way and lower the port near the short turn, seeing as most of the air goes straight across the back of the valve, lowering the port gives less of an obstacle to the incoming mixture. this work well with lots of valve lift and duration
