Going Roller on my 340!! Solid or Hydraulic??? Pro's and Con's

My vote is for solid roller!

I have one in my 360. It's .580 lift and 245@.050. Car has about 10.5:1 compression with eddy heads, no idea about the power but with 4:10 is hauls. The throttle response is insane, really happy with it and would do it again in a heartbeat.

I'm running MRL solid lifters, and I strongly recommend them, they dropped right into the block with ZERO modification to anything and they are pressure oiled.

You need to have your valve train setup really good especially with the increased spring pressures. I'm running comp ultra pro magnum rocker arms with .180 wall pushrods. I have about 3k miles on the motor with that cam/lifters and the lash hasn't changed one bit.

Really the only downsides are having to check the lash every once and a while, but it take very little time to do that. The other is they may not last as long, but with pressure oiled lifters like The MRLs I'm not worried about longevity.



Thanks. I was already eyeing the MRL lifters. Dart Vader you did oiling mods?? If yes can you elaborate? Did you Sleve lifters?

Thanks again guys.
