I brought this thread back from the dead as I am doing research for a set of solid rollers for my 493. I plan on using a small street roller so my spring pressures won't be crazy high. I have been looking at BAM or Morels and it may come down to what is available. Any reason to stay away from Comp or Howards ? This is new territory for me so any input is welcome. The car is mainly street driven and raced a few times a year. Stock 440 block, Indy EZ heads std.port, 10.9 compression. Like to keep the budget $500-$700 range Gus

Like to keep the budget $500-$700 range Gus I put 7,600+ miles on my set of Comp 96829B (bushed). I currently have just short of 3,000 miles on Comp 96829 regular (needle bearings). So far, so good  440, TrickFlow heads, a dozen 1/4 mile passes, almost a dozen Auto-X events over that time period. I would love to hear what kinda mileage other people are doing and what kinda maintenance they are doing?

Any of the premium roller lifter options will cost more than $700.

An engine builder friend uses BAM lifters wherever he can. They have some noice features for the price. They're rebuildable as well
