The original owner of "Ole Reliable" was here ploughing snow today (he used to be a partner in a performance shop back when he bought the car) and I was telling him that I had received a "Street Torque" cam for Xmas. We got talking about installation valve train etc. and he suggested looking into installing it with roller lifters. For those of you who don't know, the engine is a Canadian B20E 1974 version with dual SU HS6 carbs.... it is an 8 bolt flywheel block. The head has been redone with guides and hardened seats installed. This year will see the bottom end getting the treatment ... depending on how much wear is evident it will definately get new rings and bearings if we can get away with just a hone job we will ..... The Cam will be installed at that time with new cam bearings etc..

OK so has anyone ever heard of using roller lifters in this setup? What pushrods were used? Is it worth doing ?
