what else do you have done to the car? if everything else is close to stock, there is no point in going to a solid roller.. it wont work with pedestal mount heads and you WILL have to adjust the valves every so often... more frequently if you plan on driving it every day...
FWIW, the lifters are a couple hundred, and solid roller cams cost a bit more since they're billet...

ok, I looked at what you have done.. you'd probably need to lose the 1.7's... probably better valve springs.. and the titanium retainers.. soldid rollers rev WAY quicker than a Hyd. roller..you could probably use a victor jr. intake too...you might look into a pro-form main body for that 750 too... summit has them down to $99 now ;-)

I had a solid roller in my 289 in the 68 stang, 272*/282* @ .050 lift, .640 total lift... 8k RPM wsa normal.. had it to 8600 a few times..
