Our rules say we can run any cam except a roller and we must use hydraulic lifters and can use roller rockers. My question is this, have any of you heard of running a solid lift cam on hydraulic lifters. This is what I was told the builders of these engines were doing. I was told they were using these cams and lifters and running the valve adjustment like a solid cam and lifter combo. We cannot use any lifter that can be easily pushed down by hand. I have no idea what cam is in our engine, the engine was built by someone else and he will not say what it is and the numbers are ground off. I guess I can set up my degree wheel and dial indicator and find out. I built a 5.0 roller engine for my sons 66 Mustang with aluminum heads, performer rpm intake, 650 Holley, 1 5/8 tube headers, 2500 stall, roller rockers and had to set the valves at 0 lash. He kept all the stock parts for the car just in case he decides to sell it. It has been appraised at $31,000.
