80 head, 81 head, valve train compatability

hi nate

i guess anythings possible if u have the money
to spare,

the milling of the caps and head wouldnt be to much of a
problem for a machine shop,
finding bearings to suit might be another problem,

also ud have to notch the head to stop the bearing from
spinning. hopefully parts will be a plenty for some time
not to have to worry bout it.

You could probably install the caps and have the heads line bored to a larger diameter so you could insert bearing shells. $$$ Then the only trick would be finding bearing shells that would fit.

I don't plan to or want to do it, I was just thinking out loud.
