Quite awhile ago the late CFI_EFI had posted up some info on a GM V6 hyd. roller lifter that could be used rather than a retrofit deal on a Gen 1 sbc.

Anyone have info/PNs on this?

 

Don't remember his post. Went to acdelco.com and looked up my old '95 Gran Prix and the Lifter is # HL118. That was on a 3.1 L and the x-reference shows that it was used on a boatload of stuff. It's still being used on 2011 Chevys (Impala sixes). You might call Scoggins Dickey - www.sdparts.com or Street and Performance - www.hotrodlane.cc

 

Here is what I have collected from other people's posts for evaluating my build.

"Here is information I collected from other sources. The information hasn't been check for accuracy but is a place to start.

A member Dan, built a 400 using the V6 roller and said that a lobe lift of about .330" is the maximum with out unporting the oil. Again, this is all second hand info that I personally have not confirmed.

 

I found that info on thirdgen not ot long ago. I think it was all in one thread.
