I know I'm right....
Does anyone make the V shaped Mopar LA adapted roller lifter tie bars? I cant find them anywhere sold sperately. would need to be open ended or I could cut them...link?
I think a gentleman associated with Mr Norms does. I want to say I got one of his cards at the National Mopar show in Mn. Last week. His booth was right beside Mr. Norm I will look and see if I have his card. Not totally sure he was with Norm tho.Does anyone make the V shaped Mopar LA adapted roller lifter tie bars?

Check these guys out I know they have them for 440s just don't know on others?Ooh rah!
Oops I think I have seen photos of roller lifters that had gone sideways. Unscheduled engine disassembly! I think those bars are permanently riveted to the lifter body.Just thinking about the alignment forces in play..... After more thought, aren't the rollers self-aligning on the cam lobe ramps? Wouldn't any twist would be fought by the pressure from the valve springs? Seems like the links should be a bit loose to allow for this 'auto-alignment'.
Which begs the question of why have the links at all, as long as the valves don't float....??? Or can they spin around freely when on the base circle?
(Seems like if the axle and/or centerline of the lifter was a bit offset from the line passing through the center of the cam then it would essentially be self-aligning... sort of a caster effect. Not possible to guarantee that on an older block I suppose.)

These are comp 829s for bbm. Link bar is totally removable. Kim
