I just read an online Car Craft article about the build of a "Max Wedge" engine, using the A&A standard port crossram and repro MW exhaust manifolds. In the article, the authors says he used a hydraulic cam because with the MW exhaust manifolds, you can't take the passenger side valve cover off with the engine in the car. Is this the case?? It surprised me, especially since the MW engines were all fitted with solid cams and adjustable rockers.

The reason I ask is becuase I am planning on building a Max Wedge type motor to go in my 63 Dodge, using the repro cross ram and exhaust manifolds. I was planning on using either solid flat tappets or rollers. But if I can't get the valve covers off to adjust the rockers without removing the exhaust manifolds, I might have to re-think my plan. Anyone with practical experience with these engines with the exhaust manifolds?
