The B30E inlet ports I have seen are in between B20B & B20E size & are a better shape & flow better too. No need to port the inlet at all if you are staying with a long life street cam with lobe lift in the .280" range.

The exhaust port, OTOH, is terrible. The inlet exceeds 100cfm@10"H2O easily while the exhaust struggles to get much past 50cfm IIRC. '74 B30E head looks exactly the same as a '71 B30E head to me.
