    If you are going to use the stock lifter dog bones and spiders then you are going to have to ahve the top of the lifter bores machined.

    i will be running a solid roller....THEY DO REQUIRE SPECIAL CAM BEARINGS IN THIS BLOCK found that out today when the machine shop went to put some in..i should have read the instuctions..the instructions also no machineing is requiered on the lifter bosses.
    the old R block had to have that though.

    Wrong.

    They made a running revision (another) roughly 2 months ago.
