Any knows what all it takes to put a solid roller cam in a 5.0 block?

 

A solid roller cam, solid roller lifters and valve springs to match your cam. Roller rockers are a nice compliment to this set up also. Set the valve lash around .016"-.020" on the rocker tip cold setting. Bust that beast off and hold on to your shorts. Be sure not to get to big of a cam that you will run into PTV clearance problems. I don't look through the big vendor catalogs that much, but it's hard to get a solid lift cam that doesn't have huge lift with out going to a custom grinder. They have a few, just have to shop around to see what your after. I love solid lift sound and the performance gain is worth having to adjust your valves every once in awhile.

 

So no block work, thats all i was wondering, i was guessing not since the blocks are setup for roller lifters already, Also whats the main difference between a hydro and solid roller, could you just swap out lifters? just wondering

 

yes you can swap lifters no problem. your gonna need adjustable rocker arms though, which means you'll need a rocker arm stud conversion kit (im guessing you have 1978 or newer heads)
