X Dit. Oh whatever.

seems to me a Summary thus far would emphasize PRACTICALITY over PRIDE to:

Take a best of breed BBC assembly &

Pick a Hi-Rise dual-plane manifold, and an alternate Dominator Flange. also the favored Dual-quad, EFI manifolds.

Then pick/make a Valley pan happen. The PMD top-end hard-parts is done.
==========================================

pick the BBC block (iron, aluminum) and MODIFY the oil mount, Bell Flange, Timing Cover( at least have the parts available if desired), perhaps oil pan. And choose Internal Balance.

pick the BBC heads (iron, aluminum) that appear Ram Air V like. PICK the LARGEST 3" diameter Intake valve as thee PRIORITY of such a BBPMD effort. add styled Valve covers to appear PMD inspired.

1000HP NA will occur like falling off a log, with flat HYDE liftersq, while the roller am race version will be state of technique.
================================================== ===
it is finished. - Jesus. (hey it's Easter today)
done.

Geez, even I'd consider doing this, after comparing MCCarty's Ram Air V suite ( and it is sweet). Personally, I want to select the largest slug diameter, with A strong regard for factory stroke or a little more.

(IPAD auto-text-correct stinks. Gotta turn it off)

bring on the impracticality of this approach, trade-off.
