bja Grease Monkey Registered: 07/03/10 Posts: 4 Loc: colorado	been doing a little looking on the web looks like this block was made for solids when it was rebilt a hydraulic cam was used so it looks like the cam and lifters have to be changed what do you think?

bobg1951chevy Registered: 02/17/08 Posts: 840 Loc: Ellijay, GA	Use the solid lifter cam and solid lifters is my thought. If the block does not have the oil passage I spoke of above, it won't work correctly. _________________________ When I'm behind the wheel of my 1951 Chevy ... it's 1957 in high school again! www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/21579056
