3.1 Hydraulic Lifter for SB Conversion Info
3.1 Hydraulic Lifter for SB Conversion Info
I thought I would start a new thread for this. I have found a source for the 3.1 Hyd. roller lifter used to retrofit the non roller small blocks.
Good news, they're $10.50 each.
Bad news, I have to buy 8 sets (128) of them at a time to get that price.
Good news...if I could get 4-5 other people committed to a set ($168.00) I would go ahead and get a batch, and sell the rest on Ebay. I only need one set, so there would be seven sets for sale. Let me know if you're interested.
These are brand new Sealed Power units, and would require prepayment, and only actual shipping costs.
THanks,
Dave

There's a discussion on that here & some pics
Basically, It's how to retrofit a pre 87 block with rollers without the expense of aftermarket retrofit roller lifters. It entails some grinding in the lifter valley for clearance of the lifter retainers, and some drilling and tapping to install the spider tray. Total disassembly required.
Some argue that it isn't proper but some guys are willing to try it.
Guys who've tried it say it's OK.

There are some deals here on roller cams if someone's looking for one (109* lsa, carbs only)
Just thought I'd throw this in
