oz 250 head and valve train questions

[cameljockey]

Hey guys long time no see er I mean write.

Any ways I've been on summer vacation and I've also managed to land me a mother of a deal on a ford 250 ci 6. $150 rebuilt & running w/ 40000 miles 8) I want to do a cam swap but since I have to remove the head to get to the lifters why not do a head swap while I'm at it. The Oz 250 head seems like the best option but there is a waiting list. Does any body know how long the wait is? Time is not on my side as I have to have this done and in my '66 'stang by the end of winter this year.
:roll:
What are my choices as far as lifters go? besides the rhoads lifters are there any roller lifters that can be retrofitted? I know Comp cams makes a kit to retro fit roller lifters sans tie bars to big and small blocks. What kind of roller rockers are they using for the conversion kit at ford six? they look like small block V8 lifters but which V8?

Contact AZcoupe(Mike) at fordsixparts.com and he can answer your question on the Oz head wait and you could also get almost everything needed for the install from him also. Good luck.

I think the roller tipped, shaft mounted rockers arms are similar to the FE rockers. I'm gonna go talk to an old ford dude this weekend, he may be able to confirm this.
