429 460 based engine NOT WORTH THE HASSLE to use hyd roller lifter/cam.

Why don't you just let folks decide for themselves what's worth the hassle and what's not. We get it. You don't like hyd rollers in BB Fords. Sleep

I don't remember the part number but they where a Circle track endurance roller spring, nothing crazy and we only needed to spin 7000 so didn't need anything big.

Which is the nature of the Engine Masters Challenge. It worked for what you needed and made the power. How many guys get 20K miles out of an 800+ HP naturally aspirated mill anyway? It wasn't the point of your particular build. I love this stuff. I'm curious to see what kind of longevity Scotty will get from his hyd roller cams with solid roller lifters. He has been playing with that for a while now.

I have a whole pile of 572 parts that I have procured from Lem over the years, and I am watching every angle of this stuff. Actually, the only big thing I'm lacking is the valvetrain from the cam to the valves. I really appreciate what all of you guys do when you build these things.

I'm not an engineer by any measure, but it just "seems" to me that a Short body hydraulic roller lifter could be designed. One that would be no taller than a mechanical roller lifter, therefore reducing the side loading of the lifter bore, and the acute push rod angle to the point of being somewhat "acceptable". Am I missing something with my "pipe dream"? I would LOVE to be able to run a hydraulic roller 460 for a long duration in my 60 Starliner cruiser!

If it is to be a HYDRAULIC lifter then there needs to be a hydraulic mechanism inside the lifter so, put a roller on the bottom of a hydraulic flat lifter and that is what you get; a taller lifter pushrod button, by about 5/8 of an inch.

True enough. The better hydro rollers (some are better than others) are certainly an option in this century.
However, saying solid roller lifter option is being stuck in the 90's is utter nonsense.
Solid roller lifter design is FAR better than they were in the 90's. There have been many advances in solid roller lifters over the last few years.
One must not think a hydro roller is the only lifter that will survive. It is more about lobe design and using a newer solid roller lifter design that will allow longevity not seen in the 90's. The bushing lifters have advanced, as have the needle designs - and materials used.
Sure running an aggressive lobe profile with a hydro or solid roller cam is not going to last 10's of thousands of miles. However, a well designed lobe profile for an endurance application along with a solid or hydraulic roller can be used with success.

What the hell do I know?

It's always been about lobe intensity and spring pressures

And having realistic rpm expectations, big truck diesels have used solid rollers for years, but guess what, mild lobes, tight last, low rpm light springs and lifters designed and sized to go the distance.

Yes solid roller tight lash with mild lobes and reasonable spring pressures would be ideal but. How do you drive the oil pump and distributor without using a bronze gear as a wear item? I would happily run a solid roller cam if I could leave it untouched for 100,00 miles!! Don't mind adjusting valves.

It's called an everwear cam core with an iron distributor gear pressed on the back of the cam.

No more nonsense than saying a hyd. roller is a waste of time and money on a 385 series Ford.

I was a Ford guy long before I was ever a Chevy guy. Truth is, I'll never be a Chevy guy. It's just what I work on most.
