Nick,

I must be missing something. You can NOT put hydraulic lifters in a solid lifer bolck. There are no oil passages to feed the hydraulic lifters.

You can put in a hydraulic cam and run the solid lifters, but you'll wear out the cam in short order.

Why not put in a solid lifter cam?

Check with Isky - they still make them.

Good Luck

cheapness. it looks like the six is going to com e out now and a 2.3L turbo goes in its place. got the motor in spare parts at home it just needs a air meter and a cam. should be putting out 3 times what the old 170 made.
