RE:Okay, I think By Mike McQuesten - 10/03/2001 3:46:13 PM; IP 206.193.0.120 Thanks Mel, you've affirmed our theory that a hydraulic FE block can run a solid lifter cam fine especially with the shell style lifters. As I said, I did run dumb bells in my 428 CJ for a couple of years. On the street mostly and on the strip regularly. Stock CJ pan too but with six quarts of oil being moved by a high volume Mellings oil pump. I've not seen the third style of solid lifer you've mentioned. Of course, there's a lot I haven't seen...yet. But I keep lookin'! I have an odd set of FE solid lifters: Iskenderian's. When I bought my '60 Sunliner 352/360 from a guy who had owned it since '62, he told me he'd changed cams around '63/'64 to an Isky. I got the original Ford cam/lifers from him too. I removed the Isky cam from the 352 and sure enough, it's an 505B Hardface. I've got an Honest Charley Catalog from '64 that gives the specs. Pretty radical cam. But the lifters were the oddity. They look very similar to a standard hydraulic lifer except they're not. No oil hole/plunger. Just a rock solid lifter. I t might be a neat cam to use for a drive in cruising thumper but I'm leary on the early syle of cam retiner, i.e., thrust button/spring and timing cover. A weal link in early HP FEs. The cams were prone to "walking". Thanks again.

This thread, so far...
