i have a 350 small block from 1985 in my offroad racing pickup. i was just wondering if it had roller tip rockers or the old style if it does have the old ones. could i please get a parts list to convert to roller rockers

 

Nope No rollers.. Check out sdpc and or gm performance parts to the right--------------->

 

hydraulic flat tappet right?
GMPP makes a great kit to goto roller rockers.

 

i couldn't find anything on the gmperformanceparts website

 

yes it is hyd flat tappet.. They have to have something

These are 1.7 ratio and standard gm's are 1.5's.

yeah i saw those but dont i need a conversion kit or something to be able to run roller rockers on a flat tappet motor?

 

No you can run the roller tips and still ahve hyd tappet lifters.

 

As long as the rockers are stud mount you shouldn't need anything other then the rockers on a SBC. Be a flat tappet, doesn't make any difference on the rockers. Why are you wanting to run them? are you running a lot of high rpms?

 

yes in off road racing and mud bogging there are a lot of high rpm situations and i dont want all the friction in the valvetrain caused by the old slot style rockers. what would i need to convert the whole valvetrain to hydraulic roller? the cam, lifters, and rockers?
