Smoking under acceleration occurs from worn rings.

I'm not much of a hot rodder and find this talk of porting these worrisome because they are old eroded blocks and subject to cracking. Usually this hot rod stuff is done to throw away motors. Without dyno verification all this talk of performance improvement is just smoke.

I don't think it is possible to restore like new performance in any antique car because of age. You can give a ninety year old woman an injection of speed, but that isn't going to make her young again.
