Re: [Amc-list] Roller lifters for a 6 cylinder

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Nick,
    The Yahoo Strokers group talked this over, even had a blank spec'd out.
The process ground to a halt becasue there was not enough people willing to foot the bill for the minimum order of blanks.
   IIRC, it cam in at about $1200 to put the mess together and being as it was untried and intested we fell short of getting any farther into it.
   If someone such as Crane would do the actual testing to make sure the things would work I believe they would sell.    Yahoo strokers group and www.jeepstrokers.com would be the place to find out if there is current interest.
   I know I would like to have one, but I can't foot the bill for that kind of experimentation. If i could buy a setup that would be known to fit I would be very interested in it.
