I’m personally wanting to see someone develop a “tunnel port” small block head and intake, where the opposite side of the the pushrod pinch is another port feeding to a common valve bowl with the pushrod tube configured as a wing with the leading edge facing the manifold flange, and the outside walls of the ports tapering directly to the valve bowls. Instead of having to move the pushrod, just design a port around the $&%! thing. There’s of room to do it in the available space with a new casting.
