I got to and I'd offer this suggestion to either Edelbrock or Indy.....

Come up with an 'EZ' Style approach and make a smallblock head with a W2/5 (offset rocker) style intake with a standard header flange exhaust....something that will flow 280 @.500 right out of the box without needing an exotic header to work in any A/B/E body. Make a 2.02 that will fit in any 318 based block and maybe a high-flow 2.08 or larger valve Super Victor/Big Easy for the bigger bores w/custom pistons; both should have a modern compact heart shaped combustion chamber of maybe 60cc's that would work with a zero deck flat top.

The idea of an off the shelf bona-fide High quality and affordable 500hp smallblock head could be developed/made pretty easily with the right combination of existing molds.

Ford and Chevy have had this option for years and years, done right I can't see why this head would cost more than 100.00 or so more than a standard RPM style head.

Also why can't anybody make a high quality but cheap mass-produced stamped offset rocker for guys who want to run the option of a W2 style intake with a mild hydraulic cam? This would take advantage of the much higher lift XE style street grinds without having to shell out mega bucks for an entire roller rocker valvetrain.
