Pretty sure it is 38mm standard, and if they are enlarged then its too 45mm.

If you need any I have a couple of hotwire ones here looking for something to do.

It will depend on how early/late the car was made.Many earlier 5 litre cars had the ports opened out to 44/45mm at the factory(still with the awfull 'exhaust tube' unflared trumpets though),whereas later cars were 38mm and left unported,wheather this coincides with the 'hc' badge being removed i'm not sure
