just my thought and others probably have the correct answer but... do you have a cast iron head? make a template of that boss/area and transfer to the Brodix head. checking the iron head should also tell you how deep it is. just my opinion
I used the "stock" replacement Cloyes 340 chain...as mentioned above, got about 6 months out of it. however, I did get real good at changing the chain quickly.
I've got a set from MP that came in a camshaft kit I'm not using. It was a .497 oval track hyd lifter cam and lifter kit...not sure the year? I'll dig the box out if interested. Bob

was asking the same question and wondered if it's been tried on a 225. it would raise both the intake and the exhaust but as mentioned entails alot of extra machine work.

there was an article that talked with Ohio Crank. cranks are produced overseas and machined here. from what I remember, I thought they were made in Germany.
may be wrong on that but if I find the...

My combo was a 484/284 hyd cam and GOOD valve springs, aluminum dual plane intake with 750 vac secondary Holley, electronic ignition and 1-3/4" headers with 2-1/2" exhaust to the rear axle...
