I have a 427 center oiler block.

Today I have two choices.

First; run solid roller.

Second; let my buddy a machinist and engine builder modify the block to accept hyd rollers.
I'm not a 100% sold on the mods. I would like to see a picture of one that has been done. Sounds like a lot of plumbing under the intake.

Hyd rollers with the mods would cost more. But I'm willing to spend the money because this motor is going into my 66 Fairlane which I plan on keeping. When I can't drive then my oldest grandson will drive me.

That is why I'm asking about the solid roller and if I can drive 6,000 miles a year without replacing a lot of parts. And the valve train noise may be an issue.

So keep the suggest coming
