A hydraulic roller FE turning 7500 rpm....

Thank you Brent. The lifters are Crane "Vertical Guidebar Roller Tappets"
circa 2006. If the heads have to come off to inspect the lifters then I might
consider putting in new. Or maybe think about a hydraulic cam and lifters at not a heck of a lot more money. Too bad there isn't an easier way to get access
to the lifters in this block, but such is life. I also might mention that this engine
has MPG port plates installed...both intake and exhaust. I don't know how
much difference they make but there is no mid-range flat spot. With such a
light car I wouldn't think there would be anyway. Thanks again, Brent.

I am curious as to why the heads must come off to inspect the lifters on a Boss 302? I had a 351C and the lifters could be inspected without removing the heads.
