Run it as is, it still works. The Factory CJ intakes on Dove heads was a factory Upgrade back in the day and increases performance reguardless of the miss match. But if you want to spend the time you can match the heads to the CJ port. Just make sure to seal the valve cover bolts @ the intake ports or you could have a slight vac leak.
