Remember the cross over mod was for engines using hydraulic lifters not solids.
Something I have found is that a step drill bit was used on the main to lifter galley by the factory on 340 blocks.
So be sure to run a drill bit thru there to open up the end of the passage.
As for whether you want to use the crossover as designed and created by Larry Atherton.
If you don't want to use it don't do it but there are those of us that know it works.
