Interesting. I haven't seen this before. This is a late 69 engine 
number, so I suppose they were tooling up for the change.

If anyone could do this conversion I would think that RIMCO could, 
but I'm not sure it would be worth it. There would be a bunch of 
things to drill out to make this change, not just machining out the 
second valve pocket.
