Default Tall Deck BBC, Valve Covers & Power Booster

Hi folks. Elsewhere on the site I placed my 572 BBC shortblock for sale. In that ad I (somewhat jokingly) said I might dumb it down and put it in my '69 Nova if no buys it. Now I've had too much time to think about it....L-O-L. I can deal with headers (Lemons Headers can help me out there and likely so can Stahl). '

The thought that strikes me is to use a much smaller cam than what I have, bolt on a set of reworked 990 casting iron heads (large port OC), add a set of intake spacers and use an original 163 intake with a 1,000 CFM 4150 Holley on top. Now, I'd prefer to use a set of Crane roller rockers I have here. That would obviously require a taller than stock valve cover (maybe a set of vintage M/T's with the drippers removed....or?).

The big question is, can this all fit with a stock power booster in my 1969 Nova? I'm using repro 1969 big block frame mounts, a set of Lakewood rubber mounts and a repro big block transmission crossmember.

Thanks guys. I know in this huge knowledge pool, someone has either done this very thing or has examined a car with a tall deck installed. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]
