it would.
i found some old posts from @ou812 about the moved pushrod edelbrock variant heads and he seemed to really like getting the hump out of the int port to settle the flow even it didn't actually increase flow much at all. I'm talking about posts from 8-10 yrs ago though when there were alot less heads to run.
so at this point, these heads might make sense for some builds. they are about the same price as regular edelbrock heads now, mancini has rocker arms though they aren't listed on the site.
