[Found!] Solid lifters big block

[MidnightSwinger]

I’m putting a mopar .528 cam in my 383 and need solid lifters. Anyone got some they aren’t using?

Thanks

You cannot run rollers on that camshaft.

I was mistakenly under the impression I could do that, thank you Rusty.

Negatory ghostrider. No problem. I would look around for some NOS Melling or Perfect circle solid flat tappet lifters. Perhaps even call Ken Heard at Oregon Cams and see what he has. I think the new flat tappet solid lifters have a lesser failure rate than the new flat tappet hydraulics, so you have that going for you. I just had good luck with the cheapest Melling hydraulic lifters (4.99 ea.) that money can buy. LOL So far so good. I've got around 500 miles on the engine now give or take, so if it was gonna fail a cam and or lifters, I would have known it a long time ago.

I read a lot of information, and sometimes my wires get crossed.

That’s why I posted on here, I’m hoping to find some old stock or at least something that has worked for another member. I’d hate to button this thing up and have a cam/lifter failure.

I have some I bought as new but they clearly are not. U can get them refaced/resurfaced. Kim

I’ve got another member helping me out but I’ll keep you in mind Kim, thank you.
