360 Magnum Build w/ V Belt Configuration Question

The M1 single plane operating range is the “sweet spot” but it works fine on the street.
Why is it all torn down now; major changes or just little stuff?
RammerJammer75 shows how well the bypass hose will work in his second picture. Nice picture.
Just for reference, I will attach a picture of an M1 dual plane for Magnum heads and with Magnum bypass hose and thermostat.

We tore it down because we had no idea the condition of the engine. It freaking looks brand new inside. We are going to change heads, cam, intake and possibly bump compression any way.
