Hi Eddie.  I hope all is well.
I found '72 heads for my 1971 Javelin...... the "guide" for the push rods is a larger diameter though.  So, my push rods "dance" now and the rocker-arms won't always stay on them.

I had to buy .100" shorter push-rods.  As far as I can tell, I cannot use larger push-rods because they wouldn't fit my lifters, etc.

So, I must come up with a solution.  What would you suggest?

The only thing I can think of is to put "sleeves" in the guide (to narrow the diameter).  Problem is, I have no idea where to get this material or who can do it.

I've also considered roller-rockers but Jeg's and Summit do not have all the parts I need.......

What do you suggest?

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions you can give me.  Have a good day!

Thanks,
Shrews
