sorry if this has been discussed... Getting ready to start on engine, What is involved machine work wise to convert an old 4 bolt "small" block to hyd roller lifters??..I am going to use Fast Burn Aluminum Heads.

I don't think it requires any machine work. But it does require $$$ for all the retrofit parts.

This article has plenty of basic info on OEM rollers and Retrofit (what you're looking at) roller cam swaps.

Thanks for the link graemlins/thumbsup.gif I thought I would have to do some machine work but this will make it easier...I have used solid rollers with the tie bars, but did not realize the made them for hydraulics..

Thanks again

TROY Hi Troy,
Unfortunately, the site wording is a bit misleading,,, that is the cam price not the
kit :(
The kit number is 200282/294
If you email me I have very good pricing on Isky but,,, not quite that good :D

Holy, crud! With Troys link I was thinking... that cam fits my combo pretty good... Really had me thinking, yank the motor, put a new oil pan and a roller in there.. but jeez :eek: thats crazy! Mike, is that with the retrofit lifters springs and everything? the part # u listed that is... thanks!

MIKE....you have mail ;)

Hi Steve,
Yes that's the whole kit but if you are considering it don't zip over there & buy it,,
email me first ;)

Mike,
Thanks for the reply... I'll definately be emailing you when I'm ready. You've helped me a lot in the past, have no prob giving you the business. I finish my degree in a few weeks, hopefully will have my career started in January... then all I gotta do is get a new daily so I can pull the 65 off the road. Looking to bump the compression up with headgaskets like you and I discussed in the past, get a different oilpan on it and put a diff cam in it. Im guessing probably Marchish or so I'll be getting in touch on it.
Thanks.
