OK, Bear with me. You could put in an adjustable lifter and get the clearance set. Remove it and the valve and measure both. Measure the new solid lifter and use the difference to shorten the valve??I suspect the valve would be too short to start with due to the performance cam. Chevy valves? Weld something?
