What i think his old man is refering to is commercially available parts.Most of the late model 4 valve twin cam stuff use a flat tappet type arrangment which has limitation on lift etc.Where as the old pushrod V8 with a roller type setup can offer huge valve lifts even with flex.Dont get me wrong im not trying to say that pushrod motors are superior but there is plenty of parts available to help.
