Hi all,
I've got a number of engine projects in the works. I've thought about building them up and putting them in some project cars. I've biuilt a number of small blocks (and big blocks too) and swore that I was done with solid tappet lifters and cams. How much experience does everyone have with swapping to retrofit roller setups. I know the cost is more bbut after having to go through a couple of different motors, rebuilding because of wiped lobes... What's everyone using for manufactureres...
Thanks,
theres obviously several areas where the differences in the components mater but if you can read carefully youll have very few problems.
several hours spent reading this info could save you months of problems and thousands of wasted dollars, and just for a tip, I,ve found CRANE,CROWER,ERSON, to be where I buy most components
