Sorry for the long thread but i need some help, ive got a few questions.....first i tore the intake manifold off today to find a noise in the lower intake that was rattiling, well i found it! the spider tray used to hold the lifters in place was rigged, because this isnt the same block that came out...its a non roller 302 bored over so the screw holes arent there my uncle rigged it to work...my first question is will vertical link lifters work in my non-roller 302 bored over to a 347? And now that i have a non-roller block is there anything else as far as differences between the two i need to know about??? Thanks again Jamison

The link bar lifters will work. How did he rig that up and I'd love to see some photos.

I would be interested in seeing how he made it work aswell. As far as I understood it, you couldn't run roller lifters in a non roller block, not because of the spider, but the oiling location on the roller lifters verse the non rollers. I thought you could only use special lifters...

Ha try these...also any other surprising differences? Yeah my uncle sent off a rolleer block to get bored and ended up with a non-roller that is obvious in the pic......im pissed

i order lifters from trick flow for my non roller block, they are a lil pricey but i can run any roller cam i want. comp cam also makes the lifters that work, they are called retrofit lifters. i havnt found any other differences between the blocks

these i know will work, the ones you linkes to say they need some kit to work with a non roller block so im not sure how they work. also the one i posted are all hydraulic roller

The suggested parts for the lunatis are just assy. lube.... i think (and i may be wrong) But the lunati are the same just cheaper in price?
