roller rockers

I was just wondering how hard it is to convert a regular small block (355) to roler rockers I know it involves a cam swap and I need a cam that is close to the cam that I currently have to avoid having to order a new chip for my EFI, another queston is will I have to have any machine work done to my block, and about how mutch money am I looking at?

for roller rockers you don't have to change cams and you won't have to do any machine work. are you getting rockers and lifters confused?

To convert to roller cam, i think you need retrofit roller lifters, shorter pushrods, a cam button.

But honestly you should get a cam kit, it comes with everything including stiffer springs that you'll need for your heads.
