I'm not aware of anybody taking it into consideration these days - but would like to know if somebody is.

Edelbrock used to actually produce a right and left head - such that the chambers were designed for the different valve angles as well as valve heights (to the deck). They also used to have a canted roof that was designed to match the valve angles . . . haven't seen that in any of their CNC produced valve pockets. Maybe some of their heads still use the old cast chambers . . . anybody know?
