roller cam/lifters

[mattri]

Maybe this has been covered but is anyone working on a roller cam set up for the small six? It looks like the lifter bores are the same as a small block's so it seems we could use retofit roller lifters, just need a cam. Yes, no, maybe?

Actually, if you look at the lifter bore more carefully, you can´t use link-bar lifters on the frontmost and rearmost lifters.

The TC racers here in Argentina do use reverse rotation roller cams by using pins through the side of the block to hold the lifters.

The main question is whether or not it´s worth it.

To play the devils advocate, it seems with all the other things people have done to get better performance out of the six, creating headers, modified intakes, coated turbo exhaust manifolds, new valve train assemblys etc, that yes it would be worth it to develop a roller cam/ lifter combo.
