I'm told that a lot of what Vizard covers about the "A" series engine is
applicable to the "B" series engine. 

If you think of the "A" series as a small block chev 350, and the "B"
series as a big block chev 454, you can make the modification
adjustments.  In other words, the reccommended sizes for the port
passages, and header sizes WON'T be correct because of the engine size
increase, BUT his port shapes, cam reccommends, and carb/ign mods are
directly applicable.

The same goes for the stock dual carb intake modifications.  The "B"'s
is bigger, but suffers from exactly the same problems as the "A"
manifold.
