So I've got some 67cc S/R Torquer heads..
..and I've got a couple questions.
The heads are set up for a flat tappet cam and I've got a carbed 89 L98 with the stock roller cam. What do I need to make them work? New lifters?
And as far as bolting them on with the stock cam, how much power would be gained?
I'm not against installing a new cam but I'd like to know what it'd do without one.

You either need to drill out the pushrod holes, or get non-self-aligning rockers.
With a stock L98 cam, the World springs aren't going to have any problems.
(BTW, you can't run flat lifters on a roller cam.)

Ok so new rockers and lifters and it's a swap.
What will this do for me in the power department with the stock cam?

I have no idea. Still learning. I see now that I don't.
I was referring to what valve train changes had to be made. Heads are on an early 80's 350.

Ok, but there are no valvetrain changes needed on the heads.

Re: So I've got some 67cc S/R Torquer heads..
Ok, thanks, I've got it all figured out now and I already have the rockers I need.
I just realized though these are not the actual Torquers. They are simply the S/R heads.
http://www.jegs.com/i/World+Products...610-1/10002/-1
There are the specs.
Now I'm just wondering if they're any better than stock L98 heads. I would think so but I really don't know. I just need to know what kind of gains the swap would be worth before I actually get into making the swap.
Thanks for anyone who helps.
