Please don't take this wrong, but if you're not changing the cam profile to take advantage of better "roller" ramps, why change at all? Several companies sell drop ins for SB Fords. In fact, just about every major cam companiy markets them. But given the inherent reliability of your hydraulic lifters versus the possible catastrophic failures of roller setups in a daily driver, I'd sure rethink the idea of giving up a reliable combination to spend $500.00 (or more) for the same cam profile. Don't forget that once you go to roller, your distributor gear will now be regular maintenance item. And really, aftermarket rollers shouldn't go more than a year or two or about 30k miles without a teardown for inspection. But if you're set on the idea, check out Comp Cams, Crane, Lunati, and the other major web sites. They should all have rollers listed for your engine.

Tom.
