[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Al, put a Crane blue print cam in. It has the exact specs to the original.

I vote for a solid roller! Heck, go full driver and make a nice pump gas friendly 302 like Plowman's!

Just my two cents, but solid roller are terrible on the street. Many times they will only live for a few thousand miles before the lifters go away.

X2. Solid roller on the street is like having a newborn. You can keep it alive, but it requires significant attention. There's a local guy that's had an old UDHarold SR stick in an 87 Mustang for years, but he changes lifters every couple years and has the idle set at 1300 rpm.

I have had a number of solid rollers..but I tend to keep them on the small side so that prob helps longevity. this one should idle at 750 and be real easy on parts. At 500 miles a year or less I dont mind the extra maint.
