Some good info here:

I've e-mailed them & we've been back & forth discussing options.
Weird thing is they recommended switching to a larger 750cfm TB & a single plane intake if I switched to the sbc (I wanted to utilize a Edel Perf-EGR intake I already have w/a TB adapter). They also recommended I not 'waste' the AFR's I thought of using (that are just sitting on a shelf gathering dust) & go w/Vortecs (different rockers, different tins, different intake, yada yada yada...).
As far as the standard ovals (vs the peanut ports), you can't find anything w/a small enough chamber for the smog blocks dished pistons. Go to an earlier block & you don't have the provisions for the electronics.
It makes me want to yank the TBI to swap in a spread-bore & HEI.
KISS....
