Thanks everyone.
Dave V. convinced me to triple check my lash cap to lock clearance and gave me an alternative way to verify it using Dykem which was a great tip. Dave if you see this, thanks again. I think I just stuck a caliper pin in there last year and it seemed okay at the time. But that was last year. But this is something to go over maybe more than once, and to be beyond confident about. I decided to shorten the lash caps a skosh then use Dave's verification method one more time. "better safe than sorry", triple checked. So that's what I'm currently picking away at.
Here is the combination of wire parts I assembled for it.

Wires are the ONLY thing that is slightly easier than a Wedge.

Other side.
I'm going to drill out and use those goofy stock white plastic wire holders, whenever they show up.

I might try this later, just for fun.
Who am I kidding, the whole darn thing is just for fun. That's why I set myself up with different parts to mess with.
Thanks for reading, any questions just holler.

While I don't know a lot about HEMI engines I wouldn't use that one piece valley tray unless you REALLY need to Biggest mistake I made when I built my 493 I like your progress so far it should make some nice numbers. I hope it stays cool with your pulley selection because I had almost the same setup for pulleys and mine would run hot after a while of cruising. Gus

Thx for the comment so quick. Will see how it goes.
The Barton and Weiand intake I'm going to mess with have integral valley tray, which would probably be even worse. The slightly increased difficulty of service is not really a problem, I am totally used to taking the manifold off for access to the lifter valley.

Looking at the big Hemi cylinder heads, it reminds me of the years racing my Dart with the 440 based wedge engine. The BB wedge heads look so small compared to the guys at the track with BB Chevy engines. Those Hemi heads would change that ! Looks good

How well does the indy valley plate line up against the eddie head? - do you have a pic without the intake? Looks like it will work as intended, it will need a fairly heavy bead of RTV similar to the AL stock replacement heads I started mockups with. I want to say it looked like about 3/16" gap but don't hold me to it. It isn't "captured" by the heads. I can snap a picture later.

The BB wedge heads look so small compared to the guys at the track with BB Chevy engines. Those Hemi heads would change that ! Looks good Thanks! Before jumping in, I had to step back and evaluate my past experiences and observations to make sure I really wanted to do this, and I spent an afternoon mocking up a hemi out of mostly broken parts that I accumulated back during my time at MP. I rolled the engine stand in front of my car, took pictures and asked myself...."are you sure?" quite a few times. It's as much, or more, for the cool factor and value add as anything. I'm clearly not a hardcore racer, and I talked myself out of any performance concerns just adding up 400cfm and 572ci. Hopefully it will make the big torque.

Thanks for taking the time to share so I can live vicariously through your project. glad you like it. Still trying to drive some content here in spite of a long list of stuff. Someone smarter than me suggested a youtube "hemi for regular gearheads" series. I'm sure there are some who would probably find it useful. I'm not 100% sure I can make it entertaining enough for those who aren't already in the middle of one, though.

That's a good tip, thanks.
I lay a straight edge in the grooves but lacking the proper bolts to hold the pulley on at the time, I could either hold the pulley and the iphone, or the pulley and the straightedge but not both at the same time.
