    solids or hydraulics ????

     



    I was reading some more old post on here. It led me to more questions. As I have said in other threads, I have a 332 bored and stroked to 390. I also have a stock 390. 332 has solid lifters and 390 has hydraulics. I believe it was FFR that said he always used solids. He seems to know the FE pretty well. What do you guys think, which is better? Sorry if you guys are getting bored with my questions but this is my first rebuild.

    Solids are fine as long as you don't mind adjusting valves once in a while.. I wouldn't want them on an everyday driver but on a hot rod they are great.
    I remember when hot rods were all home made.
