What all do I need to convert my 360 to a 408 roller cam engine. I tried looking for a non magnum roller 360 and there are none to be found anyhere close. So here is what I looking at.
Edelbrock heads Comp Cams 20-812-9 Stroker Kit
What kind of machine work would be needed to the block for the lifters, etc.?
Thanks
Howard

If it's a hydraulic retro fit deal, you need a non-roller LA 360 block and the cnversion lifters. Personaly, if you're going to go roller, I would not go hydraulic roller (conversion stuff). There are plenty of decent street solid rollers around now and I'd use one of them. I am a believer in lifter bore bushings for a solid roller cam engine but a hydraulic roller is something I dont typically do unless its a hydraulic roller block. 500HP and very streetable can be easilly reached with a solid flat tappet and properly matched heads. Good heads dont need a ton of cam.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
