Seems too much $$$ to make the LSx heads work on the ford junk. In the end you just have something different, not anything that will be more powerful.

Actually, back in the late 80's-90's GMPP as well as Dart sold a "Buick" head that was for the SBC platform. It was meant for all out competition engines, but strangely, it had the cathedral ports and symmetrical layout that the current LSx heads have. They're pretty outdated now, but are similar to the LSx.
