      Roller lifters from TPI 350 to a 1st gen SBC

      I was looking up ways to upgrade my drivetrain and was wondering if Roller lifters from an 89 TPI 350 SBC can be used on a old 1st gen SBC 350?

      you need that spyder tray which bolts to the lifter valley..
      the bolt holes don't exist on early SBC blocks

      They make aftermarket retrofit roller cam stuff for 1Gen SBCs....

      The 89 block is a little different in the valley and front of the block in the timing chain area to make the factory roller stuff work.
      1970 RS/SS350 139K on the clock:
      89 TPI motor w/ 1pc rear seal coupled to a Viper T56 via Mcleod's modular bellhousing w/ hydraulic T/O bearing from the Viper, 12 bolt rear w/ 3.73 gearing, SC&C upper control arms, factory lowers with Delalums, C5 brakes at all four corners, Front Wheels 17x8's with Sumi 255/40/17 and Rear Wheels 17x9's with Sumi 275/40/17.
