You dont need the Crane kit if you do the conversion though so you?
There is no "block conversion". the Crane kit lets you use roller lifters
on a non roller block but they cost almost $500, where as normal roller lifters for a roller cam block
only cost like $150

There are also more aftermarket cams available for a roller cam block.
but you can get around that with a custom grind cam.

Basically the money you spend on a roller cam block evens out with
paying for the conversion lifters.
