Hi Dusty . . .

This combination should bolt right up - side cover and all.

Not sure what head work you're talking about unless you mean milling to eliminate the cup in the head (casting 838773 was designed for use with slightly domed pistons).

You would have to be milling a bunch to get the point that the push rod adjustment screws couldn't take up the slack . . .

regards,
Keith
