Retro roller

Can my 85 hydraulic cam block be converted to a hydraulic roller cam? If so what parts do I need? Any machine work needed? What would be the cost? I would build an 87-up block, but I already have a 383 and don't want to build another. Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts.

No big deal just use the Crane, Comp, or whoever retro-fit hyd. roller tappets, and cam thrust button. Be sure to use the correct timing set for the cam nose you have too

Thanks for the help. Can I use any hydraulic roller cam, or do I need a "special" cam for my hydr. block?
