"Go on youtube, and watch Jon Kaase pump out nearly 600 hp out of one at the Engine masters Challenge. In fact he won the vintage engine class. This sounds great, until"

It was a nice video, but didn't give any info about the engine other than is had aluminum heads and an Edelbrock tunnel ram from a Chevy V8. No info on head mods, carb sizes, camshaft or anything else. I got the impression he modified the intake ports on the heads to be conventional instead of stacked, since he said he used 10 lbs. of aluminum welding rods on the heads.
