true, though being a v8 developing it shouldn't be nearly as big a
deal as the 4.0 project.

i think that's already covered:
find -aftermarket- hydro rollers designed to replace these flat
tappets, used widely on amcs and also a-block mopars.
crane has a set with tiebars for the late amc v8.  they and crower at
least also have aftermarket rollers for the mopar.  i'd be surprised
if the crane set wasn't the same lifter as their amc set, just with a
different tiebar [length].

oem rollers are a nonstarter because the lifter galleries were
modified when they were introduced, and all sorts of changes like the
oil hole could've been incorporated.  backward compatibility was not
an issue.

" Supply a OEM cam to be 'spec'd'  - 
" Write a check for the rough roller cam -
" Write a check to CRANE for the final development.

this is easier at least in that crane [and others] have v8-size roller
blanks, even if there are none specifically for the 327.  we haven't
found -anyone- making i6 rollers.
