Swiching from flat to hydraulic/rollers

VIcirclez · 07-01-2001, 02:48 PM

I got a 84, of course that is flat and was thinking about changing over to rollers. What components do i need to change into to complete the switch. I think all i need is a 303 cam, push rods, rockers, and lifters. Does anyone have personal experience with this? Any input or sugesstions would be appricated.

What's the real advantage to having roller over a flat tappet? I could be wrong but I thought they were only for the higher revving competition type engines.
