Yup, hydraulic roller from Howards. I kept going back and forth between HFT and HR. I ordered up a stick[ HFT] from them/Competition Products, in October and the guy said it would be awhile as they were busy. No biggie. Called to check status in January and was informed no can do because cast cores are n/a. Then I'm tossing around the issues of possible wipe out because of junk materials being used for the cam and lifters being supplied. So I can spend $500 or so twice, if I kill one, plus the possible knock on of debris in a fresh engine. Or bite the bullet, go roller plus the needed add ons and not stress. So, I went roller. Now I just need to keep earning scratch so I can get the rest of the items needed to put the engine together. One step closer now plus John hooked me up with some Isky iron rockers and new Mancini shafts. All is good in the hood!
