Yup, I've got it. That's the book that convinced me to buy Vizard's
"Tuning BL's A-Series eEngine"; app. $65 Can. I'm going to try some of
his manifold stuff on the "B".

His info on valve shrouding, rimflow valves, and valve pocket porting is
certainly transferrable from the A-series (small block) to the B-series
(big block). Both the A-series, and the B-series share a common design
for the intake manifold, so his changes should work.

Yeah, I bought BOTH editions of those BMC factory tuning manuals, and
both of them are very dated compared to Vizard's stuff.
What I can't figure out is that given the number of "B"'s produced,
there should be a ton of GOOD tuning info out there, but there isn't.
Man, if I was running a Midget, I'd have lots of good things to do to
the head/manifold. Imagine 120+ hp in a mini... reliably!!
