Anybody ever convert solid lifters to hydraulic?

That's cool, I really haven't seen much conversation on the subject. I like the idea of eliminating the periodic valve adjustments. Any particular reason you're going back to solid lifters, mvh?

Interesting points, Bill. I have plenty of research to do as I'm just getting started on my build plans. I like the gains this sort of upgrade brings.

...I miss the sewing machine sound?

As time goes on, I am undoing a lot of the mods I made over the years. If you're going to drive a rolllng museum piece, might as well maintain the original specification, for educational purposes.

Back to the topic, I didn't realize that this conversion was so complicated on a slanty. It was totally simple on a SB.
