Hydraulic roller lifters made by these cam companies aren't designed to be used with link bars like a solid roller lifter...thats the problem.
That does Not Jive --The sbc chevy hydro roller has tie bars-just like the solids, and if SBC parts fit--then its doable--its just the oil line up hole of the olds lifters are in the wrong place , I havent heard anyone say the sbc oil lineup holes are not ok, The only real problem would then be getting a shop that would reinstall the rivets that hold the tie bars since we cannot get a manufacturer to put the olds tie bars on the chevy lifters.
