nope, if you want to put a roller in that old of a motor you need to get a retrofit kit. why is everyone so hooked of the ford cams? there junk compared to what you can get from comp, crane, or lunati

i got it brand new for $20.00. And im building the cheapest motor i can possible build just to see how much i can make with cheap, old parts no one wanted...just something to tinker with.

Im gonna do it the old method. Drilling the holes for the spyder and getting the dogbones. Im pretty sure you have to have the the lifter bores milled down some to, not positive on that though.

Dunno for sure which timing chain you need but there is something someplace that will work.

im using an old holley blue pump i got laying around with a Holley 600cfm carb.
Got an old Rpm intake off a motor i bought 2 years ago thats going on it also.
This is a very very very cheap engine build. Im gonna see if a can get about 300-320hp from it then im gonna throw a 150 plate system on it and spray it. Just a motor to go an flog at the dragstrip to have some cheap fun. lol
