Dennis Piranio has a very good conversion kit(and other stuff) http://www.modelaparts.net/webbcat.htm/catp31.htm Worked for me. His page is kinda hard to get around in, but lots of good stuff and info.

The modern Snyders kit works well as well. Not sure if same kit or not but the modern setup with single lock lifters is the way to go.

I and others report good experience with those from Richard Falluca, of Anitique Engine Rebuilding. https://www.antiqueenginerebuilding.com/index.html

My understanding is that these are the parts that Snyder's sells.

Additionally, Richard offers oversize intake values (requiring also oversize valve seats, mandating minor block machining), which do not seem to be listed in Snyder's or others' catalog listings.

I intend no derogation towards Piranio's offering, I just have no experience or knowledge of them.
