Well here's how this is all panning out. Turns out the drivers side head was .030" thinner on one end
This engine is a Ford reman with about 30K on it. Sombody must have loaded that one in the machine bad. The other one was too thin too. They were built by the now out of business Franklin Power Products. Guess we know why now 
The lesson is to always check head thickness on BOTH ends, don't just assume it's flat! Got a set of new heads on the way from Tousley Ford...should be time to get to work as soon as they show up

They can not be cut anymore out so I'll ether have to O ring the heads or buy new ones.
