Can it be done? I remember seeing someone post a pic showing all the valves clearing the cylinder bore.

My block has been decked so the pistons are at 0.0 in, I don't think I'll have a compression problem.B21ft + b204ft head and intake manifold would be ideal for turbocharging (~8.5:1). Forged steel crank, m-rods, moderate compression, good flowing head.
B204ft chamber volume is smaller than 160/398/530 head.
I think the b234 head will overhang the smaller b21 bores by a fair bit.
I saw a picture someone posted that showed the valves clearing the bore by a smidge
The valves may clear, but it still leaves a large amount of the combustion chamber hanging over the deck of the block. That's probably the worst combustion chamber scenario WRT detonation and flame propagation.
