Need advice 360 timing chain cam/crank slightly off

I was looking at their 360 LA short blocks as a possibility depending on what mine looked like when I pulled the top end off... pricing seemed reasonable.

Manufacturer says leave where it is... did he explain why? If no explanation can be given... it's your shorty now... I'd line them up & degree.

With the slugs that far down the hole you could likely use 1.6 ratio rockers w/o issues.
