Well there's one thing you've forgotten - the order of the ports.
A small block chevy, from front to rear goes: Water, Cyl, Cyl, Cyl, Cyl,
Water.
Small block chrysler and a small ford do the same with an Exhaust port in
the middle.
A poly goes Cyl, Water, Cyl, Exh, Cyl, Water, Cyl.
Thus you'd have to make the adapter such that you switch the water port
around, which makes it ultracomplicated. You'd also be better tyring to
adapt a small Ford intake as it has evenly spaced ports like a poly (chevy
has them paired off like most other mopars). The advantage here is the width
of the poly block. You'd need two large spacers, one on each head, which
routes the cylinder ports and then has individual water ports, one between
the cylinders on the head side, and one at each end on the intake side.
You'd then need to connect these two chambers with a hose so that coolant
can make it from the heads to the intake. As much as that would cost, you'd
be better off fabricating a sheetmetal intake or spending the bucks on
original/vintage stuff.

> I was looking through some of my performance parts catalogs and saw a few
manifold adapters for various makes.  Most of them seemed pretty
straightforward, most of them had recessed bolts to the heads, and studs for
the manifold itself.

not having much experience with it, it doesn't seem like it would be too
awful hard for someone to come up with an adapter that would allow us to run
something like an Chevy Edelbrock Performer RPM intake on our old Polys.  I
am only using the Chevy intake as an example, because I've not seen the
ports on one.

like a fun idea at least, maybe an after market niche that should be
filled...because we all know how cool the Poly's are!
