My engine builder made the suggestion to me that we avoid the hydraulic roller camshaft and lifters due to the $$ of them. The car is a 93 Mustang and the 392 I'm building will be EFI equipped with Carb#'s on all parts (well, almost all the parts :-) in hopes of passing emissions with a smog pump. He also commented that the hydraulic roller setup is not worth the money for a daily driven street 392 stroker that won't be seeing 6-7K Rpm's on the street. I will be taking it to the strip occassionaly. He also said the final decision was of course up to me. I already bought the Crane 1.6 Gold Race Roller Rockers....What do you think? Go with the hydraulic roller or something else??

------------------
In progress for Spring:

93 GT less motor and tranny, 8 pt cage, chute,
Sothside Machine bars & Sub-frames, 3.73's
'69 393 stroker Edlebrock Performer heads, Performer RPM Upper & Lower Manifold..Crane Gold 1.6 Rollers..BBK 70MM TB & cats..30lb Injectors..Cartech Fuel System..
