Non-removable guides pertains to the 55/56 V8 engines. I wouldn't consider myself lucky to have one, you either have to ream and buy valves with oversized stems, or convert to removable guides. But it is a lot easier to take a cylinder head to a machine shop than an engine block.

Search this site or the PAC forum for valve guide drifts and you'll find a KD tool number as well as commentary and dimensions for making a drift. The right tool makes the job easier.
