Ideal head would be (Front of engine left side) E-I, E-I, E-I, E-I, with the drivers head).
When you install the head on the passenger side it would be from the front of the engine going to the firewall) I-E, I-E, I-E, I-E.
This puts the chambers in the right spots for the piston locations. Even though the Number #1 cylinder is specified as such on the Pontiac engine on the drivers bank, the actual most forward cylinder is the #2 cylinder on the RIGHT side of the engine. (like a Ford).
George,
You can have your Ram Air V aluminum head today (if you buy a Ford Tunnel Port DOVE ENGINEERING) head and move one head bolt in the head very slightly. All of the head bolts except for one will go right into the Pontiac block.
Mill off the material necessary on the exhaust to have your HIGH PORT exhaust (Ford racers have done that for years), build up the port shape you want, and get your shaft rocker system from T+D.
Once the intake is created (with a blower engine) no one could tell the difference from a Pontiac Ram Air V head either.
