Good luck finding one off the shelf. I've been looking around myself,pretty much the only option is a custom grind. There just is not a lot of aftermarket support for Poly Heads. Very hard to even find an off the shelf grind on a flat tappet, solid or hydraulic let alone roller. Oregon Cam Grinders is a good company to give a call. Prices are fair.
they used a solid cam shaft. Custom grind. They do offer it for sale though.
I called them last week, they don't stock anything for the poly, it's all ground to order. And no rollers.
both of those had solid rollers custom cut by Comp according to the articles about them. But comp does not offer them off the shelf. Roller Cams in general are expensive, the roller lifters even more $$$. My question is, what are you doing with this engine and why do you think you need a roller cam?Many thanx for the replies.
I saw that the 'Hinkles' and the 'SAM' Pollies at the Engine-Masters both used Compcam rollers. A .640-lift and a .800-lift(really)?
When I contacted Comp, they seemed unsure of the Poly Rollers being made by themselves at all?
Camcraft say they can make them but are very expensive and no one else seems interested...
A LA 'roller billet' can obviously be ground for a Poly but nobody seems to have billets in stock either?
Hopefully Howards, Hughes or Comp will release a 'LA' billet or two for us Poly plonkers to have a play with???
WE have cam-grinders here in the UK too and companies that will make me a blank but its a costly pastime indeed, making custom stuff.

Hi Duke,
makes sense to go roller then. I asked simply because most of the time it seems the person asking about poly rollers is just trying to stick it in an otherwise stock poly, which is way overkill. I cant wait to see what you come up with though. I've got a poly in my 64 polara i'm working on.
Gary has supplied us with Poly Stroker parts for 10 years now and I feel its time we went our own way.
