The common sense and enthusiasm in these articles plus CONFIDENCE is what we're looking at.
These articles are a guide to doing just what they claim to do.
We are happy with them.

Well, as I remember those how-to articles, they were state-of-the-art for the time for the most part. Some were just page fillers, though. Anyway, they recommended polishing all the ports to a mirror finish as much as possible. Modern research has proven that intake ports should not be polished. I don't remember those articles emphasizing the importance of a consistent cross section throughout the length of the port, either.
If you're building your engine to 60 year old standards for the nostalgia of it, then I say go for it and have fun!
