440 problems/quenching?/advice needed

did u use shorter pushrods to get some valve lash?? solid lifters need like .015-.030" gap/lash!! how thick u think the head gaskets are? or what is the part number. u might be around 10.7:1 comp which with that size cam can run on 92 octane. did u check valve to piston clearance? zero deck(did u measure, cuz block would have been cut alot) and no valve reliefs it will be close
