If TC=Turbo Coupe, I think some machining has to be done on the head.
Youre on turboford.org, aks them guys.
If TC doesnt=Turbo Coupe, Sorry for the hijack.

Trouble is, nobody seems to let us in on the fine detail! I am all ears, too.
Me 3....here's a pic of a 2001 TC engine, to help illustrate. How is it done? I guess is an TC trade secret

that is the pic I ran across the other day that got me thinking alex 
it looks like they drilled the sides to place a bolt to hold the bowite in place. I would ALMOST think that one could just drill/tap the holes in their own garage? I also assuem they run the crank driven dizzy since my roller cams are billet steel and need a bronze drive gear which you can't pu in the middle of the 200 cam. Thinking about this more makes it seem like a good canidate for a EFI more with a crank trigger setup.

Actually, bronze distributor gears are available for using a roller cam, but the racers usually use a belt driven dizzy since they use belt driven oil pumps.

I know, it´s an old post. but...
maybe Roller are the lifters, not the cam
Later i will post some explanation about that engines.
TC means "Turismo Carretera", something like "road tourism" or "track tourism". It was a stock or standard category running for argentinian roads, later they ran across the tracks only and highly modified & lightweighted cars, including argies chevy novas, Dodge GTX(argie model of 2door Dart) and Torino, an AMC rambler-based 2door coupe.

Lifters are solido, not hidrahulic, and it has a guide. block is modified to allow that guides.
RUles of that competition aren´t like early stock cars, in USA, all the race cars was sold to the people, but here, competition engines are specially worked and none of taht engine/cars has permission to run in the street.
I will try to post some pics of that engines.
cheers,
Mariano
