I don't think you have read anything about why the design and architecture means that exact parity can't be done and like a lot of people out there think that because they both have 8 cylinders exact parity is easy to achieve. The present rules are from when both makes had push rod 2 valve motors of the same capacity and that was easy to sort out so how about the rules are changed to suit the Ford and let the Chev have the problem of trying to match its performance. Give both motors a higher rev limit, maybe 8700 and let's see what happens then.

Personally I think allowing the situation to develop with two different motors is a lunatic idea, it was never going to work as it used to. Obviously the Nissan & Mercedes experience was simply brushed aside as irrelevant and a none event. Unfortunately none of what you have written convinces me that you understand the basic problem.
