If you don't have pushrod clearance, those 1.65s probably aren't a good idea.

Yessir! Will report back in the summer!

Off topic, but I watched the vid in your signature - your car sounds ace!

Yeah plus they are mid 60s heads, so the shallower valve angle isnt great for really high lift either.... Got to work with what ya got and measure twice haha

I also got a set of Comp springs and retainers as part of the deal, I they were specc'd for the high lift and I have a feeling that they have a taller seat height too

Lots to think about!
