dmanzo57 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Has anyone tried modifying a non-roller block to use OEM hyd roller lifters? There was a guy on ebay selling intructions, but I can't find the ad right now. I'm guessing you would have to drill and tap holes in the center of the lifter valley to mount the OEM lifter retaining hardware. Would also need some clearancing on the sides of the lifter valley to clear the OEM lifter guides. This could save some money vs. buying a set of retrofit hyd. roller lifters at $400. Any reason why this wouldn't work? Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I've heard it to be more of a headache than it's worth. You'll be better off just getting some new aftermarket lifters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
