Brent, mark the intake bolts where they touch. Remove the intake bolts. Put the bolts in a lathe and remove just the thread, not the shank. You should be good to go. Hope this helps. It should easily be more than .060" radial clearance. Lol I posted that before I finished watching!
It is so beautiful! A real work of art. Is there any issue using the different size & weight pushrods? Do you anticipate any harmonics or valvetrain wear? TIA
Brent in your years of rebuilding 351 Cleveland engines, and if any of them had the 2V heads, what was the typical total timing you found produced the best power?
Love the FE porn. There are bolts available with the threads already removed. You choose the material they are made of and the depth of the threads. We used them on many aerospace products. Check McMaster Carr. Looking forward to seeing the intake mounted and some dynamometer abuse.
I've seen SBF solid roller builds where the builder needed to restrict oil flow through push rods because of too much oil going to the top end, leaving not enough in the pan during dyno testing. Seems like this lifter mod would cause such a scenario to be more likely. Have you ever had to use restrictive push rods to counter too much oil collecting in the valve covers?

Exactly what I was thinking, if there is any bending movement in the push rod it's not going to move much towards the endes of the push rod anyways 👍
WOW, Nice engine.

Very Very nice. Hope your customer reaches out soon.

Love the attention to detail. I will remember that lifter trick.
Some rocker arms look in need of shimming so they line up with the valve tip or is it the lens on the camera?
Nice work

Just put the intake bolts in a lathe and remove the threads where the get close to the pushrods.. The bolts won't loose any strength.
You could waste the bolts ..? Threads only ..?
For 600 dollars they should have bolt's with them dam

No sir.
