I have been looking for a 351w roller motor perferably, but is starting to be impossible for a reasonable price, so I've been thinking of buying a hydruallic flat tappet 351w and converting it to roller. I know you have to convert with screw in stude for roller rockers but is there anything that needs to be done to the block for the cam itself or can i just put a roller cam into the block as it is?

 

the roller conversion is like 300-400 if i recall. how much are the roller 5.8 motors going for? i paid $800 for mine here on the west coast.

 

all you need to do is get the rollor cam you want and some H-link rollor lifters. You will also need the right length pushrods, stock heads are fine no need for adjustable rockers unless you are going with solids.....

 

he would also need a small base roller cam though wouldnt he.

 

nope...with the H-link lifters he could run any rollor cam

Total cost to go roller in a flat tappet block is about $600 more than what a flat tappet cam will run you. It ain't real cost effective.

 

do u have a u pull it i just got a 95 roller cam 351 for $185
the roller cam motors were in 94 and 95 with a H engine code
