Yes, this has been done. A friend of mine did this and the only thing he needed to do was use custom length push rods. He used a log manifold with rubber hoses connecting the 2 logs so I cannot say if there was a need for intake spacers or not. Let me know if that measurement is needed ; I will look at his car and measure it.

330 heads on 291

Low deck blocks use low deck intakes & high block use high intakes regardless of heads. You'll need a low block intake, or a log type that can compensate for the difference.
