Hi,
This is Ed Curtis....http://flowtechinduction.com/
It's easy to convert a non-roller to a roller. I did it with my OEM early 289. Yes, my early conversions began with the spyder and dog bones, then progressed to my current use of link-bars. It all works great, runs great! The link-bars are/or can be expensive though.
Good luck!

Hi,
When I stated "This is Ed Curtis", it was referring to his web site. Sorry, if this wasn't clear.
So, to answer your question,.... link bar lifters are self aligning, so to speak. Those together with a full base hydraulic cam, a set of roller rockers, guide plates and screw-in studs will get you a roller engine. Obviously, there are a few details, but, those are the essence. The beauty of a hydraulic roller is there is no break-in and the cam will serve you well into 6500-7000 Rs with the proper springs and valve train setup.
Good Luck with your project.
