eddy heads and what rockers to use?

It's not the lifters... it's the block.

The blocks were machined poorly, castings poured with rough tolerances.

The lifters bores you have an issue with, may not be in another block and the other might have problems with bores that yours fit fine.

All part of hopping up 35+year old stuff.

You'll need a cam cut with a smaller base circle, which is not uncommon for SB mopars. Why the manufactures don't do it from the start...

He had a smaller base circle cam cut for me from Comp.

Crane should have taken block variances into account. No way is there as huge a difference between blocks that this couldn't be done. Was hoping to avoid changing cams, custom rollers are not cheap. Might look into the new comp cams lifters. What a waste of $$, hate when you buy stuff you can't use. Thanks for suggestion, might go that route.
