Re: [Amc-list] 4.0 roller lifters

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

No rollers to be found from Jeep.
No cheap way to do it either!
It's doable, just not cheap...
I wanted to do one in a 4.0L or stroker, but I just can't see the way clear to diving into such a project.
The cam blank is designed and Crane retrofit rollers will work with different spreaders in the six. We guesstimate the six is going to cost a cool $1500 to put a roller into and need 5 blanks sold to do the initial run. The unmachinened six blank is about $500 and another $400-500 for machining, plus lifters and pushrods. Not for the faint of wallet... They need a minimum order for 5 blanks, additional blanks ordered at the same time brings the cost down IIRC.
