You cannot use the OEM roller lifters on the 70's block, lifters boss holes are not tall enough for the OEM roller lifters.....need to use the linked roller lifters type.....
I dont follow you on this? please explain, they did have roller lifters didnt they?

yes I know that so insted of the linked lifters I came up with the idea to use 2 of the dog bones welded togeather with the botum one grined off so it wont interfere with the lifters and it seems to work just fine and I also hade to drile new hole for the holdown.

what was different about the 70's blocks? i have my stock roller lifters from my 92motor in a 68 block. the block was orriginally in a cougar but im sure that makes no difference. stock lifters sit fine in there. had the machine shop prep the block for them tho

This is exactly why i said im losing my mind, I agree with you cuz i read it outta a Ford Parts Interchange book, and a Ford Performance book too, like i was saying i didnt think there was a different, and you^ pretty much prove this true
Thanks you..........

Yeah the pic isn't showing...



I read through this entire thread and can't tell if you guys are discussing the 302 or 351w.
I know a 70's 351w won't accept factory rollers with a factory cam.
But I'm not too sure on the 302. I thought they were the same throughout production...
