MP built the crate motors with as many parts from the parts bins as possible judging by the mismatch in size between the valve springs and retainers in my 03 crate 426.

That said one could ASSuME they are the same , but I would get and accurate measurement for exactly the length you need considering the adjusters was sticking up high enough to break the baffle loose . Also you might check and make sure that you have the proper length adjusters and that they are not longer than necessary ... which would be the reason they hit the baffle?

But I would think you should have heard the adjuster hitting the baffle ?? have you checked the other side ?
