Ford used adjustables on re-manufactured engines. I have run into quite a few in cores that I've bought over the years.

If they were good enough for Ford I guess their good enough......

I use them with a regrind camshaft with a smaller base circle to get the clearance. But I've done quite a few engines with the originals. just takes some time and patience.
