Would a set of Comp Cams 843-16 solid roller lifters work in a 340 block?

I helped in the design of the 8043-16 lifters Comp now sells. Depending on the lobe size, you can run these lifters with no block mods at all!
They drop in, pushrod oil, pressure fed bearings and deep skirts.
I will usually drop the base circle on the cam when ordering if I'm using a .430 lobe or larger.
I can also sell you those lifters cheaper than ANYONE on the planet!

I am tired of wiping out flat tappet cams. (2 so far in 4 years) Once I get the blower on top, I don't want to be taking it apart because of a wiped cam.

The upgrade to roller aint cheap. I would be carefull buying those lifters...they are almost 600.00 from Comp new so 100.00 sounds too good to be true.
What springs do you have? Rockers? Cam already or???
I don't think that is the issue Ramchar. I think he wants to switch to a roller.

Jack, if your wiping out flat tappets, check your lifter bores. Perhaps, the tappets are binding up/not spinning around in the bores like they should. I'm sure you have the matched springs to the cam.
Go check out Hughes racing and get them for 345 or so (that's what I paid for my hyd roller).
Well if you are only looking at .500ish lift why not go with a hydraulic roller. Much less maintenance.
