yep - been there done that. Actually on a couple projects

Summit Racing sell to low profile stems

These are about 3/4" tall
Summit SUM-G1957

These are about as flush as you can get. I have them on my truck and I ordered a set for a Friends High End Nova. ( No leaks )

Summit SUM-G1958

ps - these are actually made by weld Racing
