Does anyone know how large of a spring the head can handle and what the installed height is ?

1.500 OD springs.
The factory installed the stock springs at 1.700 but I have done set-ups using a 1.800 I.H. (Mopar BB valves & springs)
The taller spring really helps when using a cam with high lift.

Doc,

Does this affect the pushrod length much? I know that the taller stem might affect rocker geometry a bit, and adjusters can only be tightened or loosened so much, will this require a mock up and an adjustable pushrod measuring tool as well?

Just curious,
