I can get a 355 (late 70s truck block) with a forged bottom end, ported heads, 4 bolt mains ect., but it has a solid flat tappet valvetrain in it...it makes power from 3800-7100. I searched, but I cant find what i'm looking for, i'd like to know what all is involved in placing a hyd. roller setup in this block. Thanx.

 

Nothing, just replacing the cam and lifters with the hydraulic ones.

 

Well just take out the cam lifters n pushrods and the springs. Replace it with a retrofit hyd. roller cam. New pushrods with the proper length and the proper springs with the proper amount of pressure.

 

Oops sorry, disregard my first post i missed the fact that it was a roller setup.

 

Marshall89ws6, what are you running as far as springs and all that? The guy actually has a Lunati 292 cam...I see thats what you are running too. Should be a real similar setup.
