hey guys just bought a short block and didnt realize that it wasnt a roller motor so im stuck with a 1 piece rear main seal flat tappet short block i want to make it a roller motor so im in dying need of retro fit roller lifters. if you perhaps have some lying around in your garage please shoot me an email and i can paypal you the money Derrick derrickvalure@yahoo.com

I think you can convert it. Look at the lifter valley of your block. If it's a 1987 or newer block, you should have bosses cast into the block to drill for the spider hold down plate. If you do, then drill and tap the holes and use stock 1987 or newer hardware to finish the install. That will include the V8 lifters, pushrods, the plates that pair off the lifters, the spider, the proper timing chain assembly and the plate that mounts to the block that matches the step of the cam. And of course, a stepped late model roller cam.

im going to check into that really dont want to drill into the block it would probably cost some money

It's not that big a deal. You simply drill and tap two holes for your spider hold down and if you go with new parts, you use this kit.

Would roller lifters out of 9a 88 iroc-z l98 work? I got some and they are in great condition.

If you still need these I've got a set of Comp Cam High Energy hydraulic retrofits with low miles. PN 853-16.
