However, Bernie was the GM of Chevrolet Motor division and hired by Ford and all the BBC engineering team was brought over, thus the splayed valve 429 engine was born.
On the longer runner intakes we extend the plenum front and back. Therefore looking on the outside, it looks like the runner are much longer, however the plenum extensions provide for a very close intake runner length and a bigger plenum. I will try to get a picture.
