Kicking around the idea of a Roller Cam Swap...

The only retrofit hydraulic roller lifters worth using are Morel's. They ain't cheap. I'm using a hydraulic roller in my 273 build, and looked at one of Lunati's cams also. I called to check availability and the guy at Lunati was like :rofl:! My machinist pulled a string at Bullet, and got them to grind me one to the Lunati specs, because they had blanks in stock. It's still gonna be 6 weeks! THEN, we find that the lifter bores in my motor were factory oversized. I took my block to a race engine shop in VA today, and got the lifter bores sleeved. I got a good deal on the work, but it still wasn't cheap...plus the 600 mile round trip. Will I use another hydraulic roller? Yep, for all the reasons you mentioned......but DAMN, the wallet hurts! :BangHead: :realcrazy:
