Iskendarian Cams and Comp cams both make-or made at one time-   variable 
height retainers for both 7 degree and 10 degree keepers in aluminum, sttel 
and titanium. To start with I'd call or e-mail Comp Cams Tech Line <
www.compcams.com>, 1-800-999-0853, or
<www,iskycams/contact-technical.php>, fax 310-515-5730 
with your list of parts & specs, and see if they have anything that can 
solve your problem without machining the heads or throwing away too many 
pieces. 
Note that changing the height of the retainer also changes the height and 
pressure of your valve springs, so you'll likely have to re-shim to your 
desired pressures. Good luck, Tomas- J Deryke
