Has anyone or anyone know if you can try running a solid lift cam in a hydraulic head?

I'm assuming you are running a 2.3 Ford. If you are then the answer is yes. All stock 2.3 heads started out as hydraulic but can be easily converted to a solid lift cam.

I am talking about a cam made for a solid head used with hydrauli lifters. I see esslinger makes one that can be used for both i got a similiar cam as far as specs go.

Why would you want to do that? Build either a solid cam head or hydraulic cam head, whichever suits your application instead of mix matching parts and ending up with time and money wasted on something that doesn't work right. Don't try re-inventing the wheel just to go ministock racing.
