I'm pretty sure Ford went to hydraulic roller lifters in the 1980s in the 5.0 and maybe the 351 W as well. I don't understand why solid rollers would be that much different. They been around in hot rod use almost as long as I can remember.

I can see why a splash only FE block might have a problem, but I wouldn't think a SB would.

Am I missing something?
