Armond, how far apart are the axis of the valve centerlines and the cylinder bore centerlines?

To experienced others:
Is this alignment typical of the 230/250/292 engines? Can the bores for the cylinder head bolts be elongated some for better alignment by shifting the cylinder head, bringing the cylinder head down relative to the construction paper bore (as shown in the photo)? This would allow better combustion chamber shaping also.
