Maybe F N'L will sell you his striped out Eddy's cheap. You only have to deal with his JB Welded in Sparkplugs.

Just so you know, the recommended pre-load on hydraulic lifters .020"-.060" so there is quite a bit of leeway there. Plus you can play around with different push rods to get the correct pre-load. The longest ones are the bridged rocker version so, you could salvage a set out of a single pivot engine if you need shorter ones. 7.767" - '66-'69 Single Pivot Rocker Arm 7.800" - '70 and later Single Pivot Rocker Arm 7.820" - '72 and later Bridge Rocker Arm.

It's the only practical repair option that I can think of. Anything else would be stupid.

Well gentlemen, the head/intake swap has been postponed until another day, due to my highly successful packrat ways. I didn't even realize that someone at one time actually made a Motorcrap to normal carburetor adaptor. While digging through my junk this evening, I discovered that not only did somebody make one, I actually have one. Now I can slap a Holley or Edelcock on this pig for only the cost of a couple of carb gaskets. Yay!
