[Amc-list] roller cam/lifters for 304

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,
 
I can get both the hydraulic roller cam and lifters for you if needed.  I have 4 being made right now.  I would say in the past year, greater than 50% of my cam sales have been roller cams.  I have been selling less flat tappets lately.  That is not to say I don't like them as a flat tappet cam is still a good choice for many.  The difference between a good flat tappet cam and lifters (higher end not the cheap ones) and a roller cam and lifters is about $500-550.  Buying a roller over flat tappet is more for the performance gains without the sacrifice in drive-ability and not just because they are more durable.  Using the correct oil and breaking in the cam correctly (most important part), a flat tappet cam will last a long time.  The biggest difference is the power increase across the entire rpm range a roller cam offers as well as a 35-40hp overall increase you should see (40hp for $500-600 is a good bang for the buck).  A like for like grind in a
 roller cam Vs a flat tappet is going to come on sooner, increase harder and quicker (meaning it will rev faster) all the way to top end while giving you a smoother idle and less vacuum loss.  This is not to say you can just put the largest roller you can find without matching it to other components just that there is less consequence with low end power when going to a larger roller cam.

i am looking to start getting parts for my 304 build
again. i want to put roller cam and lifter in due to
the efficiency, and the issue with all the d@mn oils
now days. have not seen anywhere that shows a kit for
them. i saw somewhere (damned if i can remember where
now) some roller lifters, but no roller cam. 
maybe nick a can help or has listings??? plan for this
motor to be a very reliable, daily driver, full roller
motor. HYDRAULIC ROLLERS for the streetability and not
having to adjust them all the time.
