Arrid Extra Dry

i have a flat tappet block
allready installed the hydrolic roller conversion kit
allready ran a roller camshaft in it
didnt have any problems, but i noticed the lifters cam up a little too far and where hitting the lifter guides, on the roller conversion just a little bit
i called comp cams and they said i HAD TO RUN A RETRO FIT CAMSHAFT
even with the roller conversion kit
has anyone ever had this problem or ran a roller cam in a converted roller motor
my problem is, that is their is not alot of camshafts to choose from in the retro fit style

Call Jay Allen at Camshaft Innovations. He can make you a cam designed to YOUR engine. Tell him Jason from my5oh.com sent you.

I would go straight to a solid roller custom ground and scrap that retro hydraulic nonsense

I conur with that.
For the $$ you must have had to spend you could of had a mech. roller......

The retro fit camshaft set up needs a cam on a smaller base circle. It will have the same specs as the cam you have but it runs the lifters lower due to a smaller base circle cam. Ford Racing can also help you out.
