Hydraulic roller lifter questions (LA 318)

racerdan80 said
I did a mock up of oem lifters with spider and dog bones on my 318, 67 block. The oil band came just above the lifter bore. On some blocks, drill and taping may be viable, but on mine in particular it would’ve been just an oil pressure loss. Will be going with the Morel’s when I put my motor back together.

Yup. You're right. I compared pictures of both and the lifter bores on the LA are a good bit shorter. It's funny though, Comp Cams offers a kit for the Cleveland engines that utilizes the Ford small block spider and dog bones. The lifter bores in those engines are the same as the windsor roller blocks.
