Yes, and I think there is, or use to be someone who made push rod guide plates for the early heads, as in a lot of these old heads the as cast push rods holes are bowed out and when running shake the rocker around and beat up the valve stem.
Of course these plates are not hard to make your self when you thnk about it and the only tricky part is heating up and quenching the plates to harden them if you started out with a soft 1015 type steel.

ARP makes a 7/16" X 1/2" stud with built in nut. Just have to cut off about 3/4 threads on the bottom and don't have to use helicoils.

Would poly locks work. I have a stock 068 cam and just wanted the ability to adjust if needed. Not concerned about too much power for pressed in studs.
