Solid or hydraulic rollers??? Anyway, whichever type you are using there are retro-fit kits to fit the old blocks, too. Doesn't really matter which vintage block you use as long as you get the correct pieces to go in it.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Well, I know I can go with a retro-fit setup for an older block. I guess the question is do either the LT or LS blocks use roller lifters without the link bar?
I know a couple people that had them break in a gen1 block. Not sure I want to go down that road....Our race team page

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
