Roller Can Questions
Ok engine build guru's, I have a question. I can replace parts that go bad and have a decent mechanical ability but I have never done much with engine internals before. My question is, what exactly do I need to turn my original 1972 350 engine into a roller cam engine. Is it as simple as buying a cam with roller lifters and new pushrods or is it more complicated?
Sorry, Title should read Roller CAM questions. lol

Re: Roller Can Questions
yes, that and i believe you will need to buy a cam thust button. This controls the forward movement of the cam, it goes i think in between the cam sprocket and timing cover iirc someone correct me if im wrong. Youll also need springs to match the cam, roller cams need heavier springs due to their aggresive ramp rates.
