Yeah, I type/talk funny,,, sorry.
To clarify,,, I see the PCV valve location, but can't tell where they lead.

Inquiry: Do the PCV valves go in to a single intake port in the head, or does it get drawn on by 2?
I can't help but think that pot is going to get extra oiling and run fuel-lean?
Inquiry: Does the PCV cylinder get excess oil and vapors,
thereby getting less fuel/air mix?
EGR wasn't around for these?
Q: Was EGR ever installed from the factory?
Seems like a big engine in a lighter truck could gain some mileage and/or reduce detonation/heat tendencies?
Q: Would EGR help?

AZKen, I'd actually bid on it before coming back on here
I'd made an account, researched here years ago, had periodically popped in and out. I got sidetracked by a similarly robust inline IHC Red Diamond for a while, but always have watched for a 432/478, had sorted a few different upgrades based on dimensions posted here and around. Bigger valves, longer rods, offset stroker, lighter pistons, cam regrind, that kinda crap. I just need to get it home, apart, and sonic checked/magnafluxed to see how best to proceed.
.060 over and 4-3/8 stroke would be 554ci or 10ci bigger than my RD's 4.530x5.625
I'll see if it's reasonable to adapt a 4.3 V6 TBI setup, with my worked 454 TB, to run on it.
