Stock Roller Setup vs XE262H

Just because you have the roller cam block and parts to make it work I would keep the roller set up. Is the cam and lifters used or new? Save the hydraulic for your other project.(imo) If you look around at different cam companies there's some mild street roller cams available which should work great without getting exotic with the rest of the motor. tmm

The XE262H and lifters is new. The other block ('77 318) needed to go to the machine shop and was told it would be cheaper to grab another engine. Had a guy tell me that he would use the flat tappet setup. I will be using my 4-bbl setup and Mallory distributor.
