...too bad they had to saddle it with those mediocre  heads.




tony, 
I beg to differ. 
 
I believe that they chose the open chamber heads purposefully for two  
reasons.
 
First, and most important, is that they just plain got more horsepower  
(torque actually) from the open chamber heads.
 
AND, secondly
 
They had really high octane gas available (and cheaply) to support these  
heads.
