I had a 200 6 in a 67 falcon put just new valves and run for years.

Thanks for the reminder. There was virtually no lip at the top of the cylinders. The pistons pushed out real easily after cleaning the carbon at the top of the bores.. Cylinders 1, 3 and 6 had broken top compression rings. No. 1 cylinder was the one with .022 piston clearance.
