What is the best way or multiple ways to install a highly efficient (low air and energy loss) window detail for installing new custom vinyl windows in a masonry opening? Including backer rod, sealant choices, tapes, etc

Jim,
The GBA web site has the answers you need.
First, here is a link to a 4-part video series on installing replacement windows in brick buildings:
Video: Replacement Window in an Old Brick House.
Second, here are links to three GBA details for windows in brick-veneer walls:

Flanged Window at Jamb. Exterior Foam Sheathing; Brick Veneer Siding
