Default RE: 351w roller conversion

i was told comp and crane cams were the only ones i could run with my 1972, without the roller conversion. the trackheat heads can handle up to a .600" lift cam with forged pistons...so im trying to find one around like .560"'/.580

a .560 lift ispretty big, i wouldnt go to far over 5 lift. 6 is bordering being unstreetable, you will be getting alot of lope and it will be getting 2 highway. well not really but remember, dont overdue it, just cause it can take that big lift, doesnt mean you have too, their can be better combo's

show me where i said that

right now the cam in your engine is a hydraulic flat tappet. therefor, you can just get a new hydraulic flat tappet cam and lifters and ut them in no problem. since you want to do roller, you need a hydraulic roller cam and matching lifters, your also going to need guideplates for the lifters so they stay in line
