Another 318 Thread

YY1: you can not use roller lifters on a Hyd. Or solid cam.
Just search out the roller cam you want or call up the cam company and say you have a roller MoPar/318 and seen xxxx cam in there book. The. Ask then to make something similar to it on for a roller cam.

Basicly treat the roller engine as a regar engine. The only valve train difference is a shorter pushrod. Everything else is the same. Since your getting a new cam, the springs will be changed out for the matching springs for the cam and new retainers will be added in if the old ones won't work right.

Forgive my ignorance, but why not?

I'm not sure I've seen any evidence to suggest the LA roller motors even used an aggressive roller profile cam that was any different than a regualr flat tappet grind.

Wouldn't the rollers follow a standard lobe just as well?
I understand the push rod length may have to be adjusted.
(but then again, maybe not)
