Removing the Powerhead will give you complete access to the lower bolts. Someone mentioned adapters, but they can affect the amount of torque that gets to the bolt, and/or the amount of Torque you need to apply
Even switching from 1.5:1 to 1.6:1 rockers will complicate a reprogram
The hardest thing about Carbs and Mechanical Distributors, is making sure the guy buys USCG certified items. Same goes for the FI systems but a lot of Hot Rodders just ignore it cause, they are Special, and rules are for...

When it comes to Lapping a Head, Close, isn't good enough. Curious, what grit did you use?
Recheck the Block where the Gaskets go, for trueness. You say the new Head fit snug, with not visible Gaps, well you can't see...

If I could I would. For the past several years, it has been rain rain rain and more Rain. The River is very high, the Lakes are very high, and the Mosquito population, well there are more of those Blood Suckers than ever.
