Casting flaw in the intake port. Would be going on a mild 440 build. Approx. 425-450 HP. What do ya think? Would this cause issues with leakage? Affect HP?

Lay a gasket on it but I'm sure it will seal so yes
I would run it

have had one with a piece missing between both ports and did not know untill intake was removed that it was like this and could not see anything wrong

so in closing you shoud be fine to run this
