Maybe because of 214/181 valves. You'd need to knotch the block I would assume like the ole max wedges had

 :iagree: That would be my guess the edge of the valve will not clear the bore

You will need to relieve the bores for the intake valve. On a 4.25" or 383 based hi performance build, that should be done anyway.
