  • retrofit roller lifters

    What brand does everybody use? Ebay has a couple of off brand sets for around 200.00. Are they any good? Ive never had to use any. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Do not buy any off brand shit when it comes to something like that.
    Stick to the name brands, Comp makes good ones, Iksy and Crower also makes good ones too.

        I have the FMS link bars in my 351 and the only other cheaper ones are the Howards Cams set you can get from summit . I don't use the ones that work with the reduced base circle cams because of limited cam selections . The link bars work with off the shelf cams , they drop right in .

          or from Ed Curtis.

              I wouldn't buy the retrofit stuff either. I've heard nothing but bad stuff about them.

                You would rather go through the machining process of block prep to run a roller cam, versus dropping in a set of link-bar lifters?

                        Retrofit is the style for small base circle cams and uses the spider assy. Am I wrong?

                          They call them both retro fit but the "retro-fit" name was used by Crane for there kit with the block inserts and spider and the small base cams .
