Well Bill, kinda, sorta. It was KR Wilson. The tool you refer to did in fact modify the valve clearance in the cylinder heads. However, it had zero to do with location of the head(s) on an engine.

It (the tool) milled the necessary clearance in early heads so they could be installed on a later engine.
The center line between the cylinder bore and valves was increased with the 59 series blocks.
