Hello! New here. I've got a quick question concerning my 1986 LG4 block. I'd like to see about dropping in a roller cam set up, but I wasn't sure if that's possible. I see it has two "pillars" (see picture), that look similar to the '87-on engine's lifter retainer's bolt down spots. Would I be able to tap those two spots and install an OEM retainer?
It's not a roller block. You'd be further ahead to find another block, one with an extra 45 cu in. even.
Thanks for the quick reply! Well, at this point I don't think retrofit rollers would be worth it, nor spending too much on this 30+ yr old block. Might just go for a newer 4.8, or an LT set up.
