non roller cam to roller cam
so ive got an 87 one piece block with provisions for a roller cam but not drilled and tapped for the retainer plate on the nose or the spider for the lifters. anybody ever drill and tap these to use a roller cam in a block like this?

The block is easy to drill and tap. Don't be scared, have it.

Sounds good and what I figured. Doing it for a friend wants to build a 383 stroker and already has a good top end.
