it definately wasnt normal mate, so not a group n. the ports on the inlet for the tb's was huge when i put it up against a standard manifold gasket
have fun driiling the head bolts out they are a right bitch. get some cutting oil and some really good drill bits and it wont be so bad. i burned out a new drill when i had the same thing on mine
you need to drill down about 15mm starting with a small bit then right the way up to a 10mm bit to get the head of the bolt off. and be care full you dont damage the face of the head where the rocker gasket sits. i put a small dent in mine and it leaks oil.
if i were you i would take it to an engineering place to be done, a lot less hassle! probably do it in 10 mins.

If the ports are taken out as big you say they are then it's only useful for a extreme engine, most gas flowing work doens't involve makign th eports big, more reshapeing the vlave throarts and seat area, a large port mean large air flow and crap low throttle airspeed.
