302 Factory Hydraulic Roller Conversion Help!!

RacerX13 · 01-07-2006, 07:18 PM

I am about to convert my 302 hydraulic non roller motor, over to the factory style Hydraulic roller. I will be using the factory retainers and factory roller lifters. I already know where i need to drill and tap the holes at for the Spider. What i am wanting to know is do i use a retro fit hydraulic roller cam or just buy a after market 5.0 roller cam. an what about push rods can i use my old push rods or do i need ones out of a 5.0? Is there a diffrance? Please help

I'm pretty sure you'll need a retro fit cam, which has a reduced base circle. The lifter bosses aren't tall enough for the longer roller lifter. The push rods are a different length too.
