Calling a 481X a BBC is like calling a BAE 8X a Desoto Hemi.

As far as Jack's new cylinder head goes, I call it a symmetrical port Pontiac.

No different to me than a SBX head on a small block chevy, or a Sonny's hemi head on a BBC. It's still a Chevy, but with a more appropriate head for some applications.

No, I would call it a 426 Hemi head. While most Chrysler 426 hemi heads were the standard street head. They did make / offer (D5) for racing heads with different valve incline angles and a shallow combustion chamber that could not use the standard stands and rocker gear.
