[hi-tech cobra]

I am not going to stick a 331 in my Hi-Tech after all. After collecting all parts needed for a complete motor (including webers) - I am going with an FE.

Why? Because I saw a cobra in my neighborhood a few weeks ago, he opened the hood and there it was in all it's glory...a 302.

So now the plan is a Pond Alum.

1st question: I know many have high praise for solid and hydr lifters but I want to get some clarity on the solid roller vs. hydraulic roller issue. I have some solid roller lifters and would like use them and save some $.

How will that impact my engine build? Will it require different/hard to find parts? I'm looking at the T&D rocker setup. What about MSD distributor, does the solid roller cam need the special gear like the 302 rollers need?

Thanks,
JB
