I took more measurements last night and what I found wasn't good news. I had a machinist visit and we checked a few areas again, looks like only some of the pushrod holes and bolt holes line up, which means I have an angularity / parallelism issue. My guess is that the original CJ heads were machined far more than I originally thought.
I guess this pushes the build plan in a different direction, might have to swap heads if I don't want to chase the machining down the rabbit hole. I know the original intake matches up everywhere but the valve cover rails, so I may just pull the heads, preserve them, and swap in something new that'll also drop CR a little.
I'm considering the BBM Twisted Wedge heads at 75cc.
What is a BBM Twisted Wedge head?
The decaf hadn't kicked in yet..
BBM heads, mixed them up with Trick Flow TW... I've been looking at both, but it looks like the BBM will be less of a hassle for install and better CR for a street car.
