Flat or Roller Lifters

imported_Gt_Jay · January 2nd, 2008, 12:37 AM

I have a stock 302 block. Can i want to buy some roller lifter and side them right in or do i need some machine work on the block.

there is alot of shit to factor in there and i think jordan will be more helpful but you have the stock pistons since you said stock.....are you going to up grade later to better pistons then you can bump up your rockers and get a fatter cam.....

Your block is a hydraulic roller block so just get them for a 302,by the way why do you need them?and do you mean lifters or rockers??

85 and up came with roller lifters though so why are you replacing them??
unless they are damaged

e3sean · January 2nd, 2008, 01:10 AM

so to answer your question no u dont need to do any machine work done cause u already have roller lifters.
