I would suggest that it is possible, if the crank mains were line bored that the crank is a little higher up. Any machine shop with a hand held laser scanner would be able to diagnose your problem. Plus if they have a CNC machining center they can re-machine the cam gear that you have to suit your specific dimensions. It's quite simple and not as expensive as you might think.
