you can use a replace the hydrolic roller wiht a solid or hydrolic cam and lifters, just have to change push rods too. you can buy spring compresser made for head on engine applications. you use compressed air and a adapter to keep the valves from falling in the engine. i've done the distributor swap but don't remember the wires or how i did it.
