If they're air pressure tight, then that's as good a way as any.  I would
strongly suggest not closing up the ports permanently...you never know
when you or someone else might want to convert the engine over to
FI.  Luckily the guy who built the race engine in the wrecked Rabbit
we're buying thought ahead (as he was running dual carbs) and didn't
stop up the FI ports permanently.  I'll be running FI in my ITB car,
which is where this engine is going to go on racing again someday.
