Well ****, Idk how I'm going to measure the clearance without ruining a head gasket. My pistons stick up above the deck so I can't just measure and add the difference. Pushrod length is also hard to check I think I'm gonna get some that are just .030 shorter than stock and try them.

I found one of the old head gaskets so there should be an order going to sdpc again today...

But I'm still stuck on the intake manifold fitting... It doesn't look even remotely close to fitting!

Their seams to be a coil over on your windshield i never noticed in the pic you sent me... is the lower radiator support the part where you ran out of paint?

The coil was to hold the blanket on the windshield while I was sandblasting. And yes i ran out of paint for the bottom of the radiator support plus if I remove the block sitting on it bad things will happen!

Just a little update, I got my yank converter in yesterday. And I'm thinking I got screwed on the other parts I bought. And no headers due to the fact my wife is making me use our spare money right now to take a 4 day vacation.
