Tony:
With regards to Hot Rodding, "nailheads, flatheads, stovebolts, W blocks, & Y blocks all the way up to big inch lincoln and caddy motors", there are literally about a dozen of the, "Old Time", Rodding Magazines that regularly have write ups on these types of builds as these have been their Bread and Butter for 75 Years.
Ironically, you want to start talking real $$$$$ try buying Hot Rod parts for those. Holy Moly!!! Since many of them are not well known anymore, finding Vintage "Go Fast", parts for them is often the only source for someone.
I've been trying to buy a Factory 2X4 set up for a 65 Nail head. How about $1200-$1500 just for the intake and a couple carbs that need to be completely gone through, and this is for a 1965 Intake!
There are several you mentioned that some parts are available, but given the LSx Technology is current and lots of new parts are coming out for them, they still seem pretty under represented relatively speaking.
Sometime go to a Borders book store Magazine Rack, you'll be blown away by how many car magazines there are in print covering the older vintage stuff.
