I found a set of Morell lifters for the 429/460 Fords that would work in the MEL engine. The engine has survived the dyno session and is now in...

If you didn't get oil to the rockers during the priming operation, then you've got an issue anywhere from the center cam bearing up to the rocker...
If the block will clean up at 0.020" over, then by all means go with 0.020". That means rough boring it now to insure it will cleanup at 0.020"...
