I'm one of the deviants doing a build with Jay's heads and a hydraulic roller, and I agree that it perhaps doesn't make a ton of sense from almost any perspective. Except for coolness factor. Honestly though, the motor I built back in 2003 has e-brock heads that were ported to within an inch of their lives by an outfit that doesn't post here...couple that godawful port velocity with a lousy cam choice, and you get a lazy, frustrating engine. So Jay's heads, and especially his cross-ram intake gave me a great excuse for a do-over.
I've documented the entire build in pictures which I will post once I have the upper intake. Jay did revise the lower intake to accommodate the slight but significant intake pushrod angle difference secondary to the higher pushrod cup of hydraulic rollers. As always, Jay has been incredibly meticulous and responsive in resolving an issue that is unlikely to make up a large portion of his business.
And it fits perfectly.
