V-6 Roller lifters in a V-8 Any success?

This was a retrofit that ended up being sort of an unpopular way to save $ by compromising certain things unless you're really careful.
It ended up that, with time, retrofit rollers from China seemed to become the more acceptable option for guys who are on a budget but want rollers... Still a compromise.
It's been over a decade since guys started trying that.
Are there any success stories, or failures?
What was the weak link?

Most of the posts on this in the past usually drew negative feedback and guys who tried it quit posting, But I'd like to find out how it went for the guys who tried it
