Well you didn't have a patent did you? I see your frustration but that's capitalism.

hmmm... didnt know someone else thaught of this before me. I thaugh about doing this as well but if i was going to go through all the effort id do it right and go buy a good retrofit kit rather then the gm stuff. I dont think he'll make too much money since the work that needs to be done is pretty obvious.

sorry man but i really doubt you were the first to come up with the idea of using OE parts to retrofit to roller. i'm sure someone thought of it the first year ('87) that chevy made roller blocks, and like mentioned you didn't have a copywrite.

IMO, if people are not resourceful enough to find the info themselves online then it's their own fault for wasting the money
