I'm not familiar with the Jeep rocker arm setup, assuming they are not adjustable? Wouldn't adjustable ones be a better route to go than messing with a bunch of different pushrods?

zz, if there were adjustable rocker arms available I'd own a set. By selecting correct size shims for under the rocker stands, I got the engine to run. After running a few minutes the lifter plungers seemed to work better. I'm confident enough that I'm putting all the other stuff on the engine and elsewhere.
Two of the events I pan to run do not allow Weld Rodlite rims. Also, I felt the 10 1/2" Mickey's were too wide. I bought the 9" Hoosiers from a Super Stock (or stock class?) racer. The International slots are from Facebook Marketplace. I have to black out the white letters on the slicks to look more period correct. Notice the unilug slots are wallowed out. I had my long time friend and ace machinist Don Groff drill a fresh bolt pattern. After a lot of scrubbing on the wheels I once again whipped out my trusty tire irons and put 'em together.

Looks like adjustable arms are available. Not cheap, but available.

I believe they are not adjustable. A big improvement though. If the engine works out, that would be the next modification.

Adjustable push rods are what I ended up putting in the 401 Nailhead and the 392 Hemi
