Now I'm not revving this engine over 6500 as this is a basic street/strip deal. I'm running a solid flat cam right now that is a little too rowdy on the street and low speed operation is not the best. The "gurus" on this site old me it might be too much when I installed it but I was going to go racing weekly but then Covid hit and everything changed. Now I only race it a few times a year with more weekly driving than I used to. Thanks Gus 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

Tennessee	A short article about this very subject written by Marlan Davis at Motortrend how-to/hydraulic-lifters-on-mechanical-cam Posts on YellowBullit that say yes/no/maybe. Base circle of cam and location of oil band on hydraulic roller lifter need to be compatible. https://www.yellowbullet.com/threads/hydraulic-roller-lifters-on-solid-roller-cam.279854/ Personally I would stick to a solid roller cam with solid roller lifters or hydraulic roller cam with hydraulic roller lifters unless the cam company says the cam profile is compatible with both types of lifters.
