Roller lifters from TPI 350 to a 1st gen SBC

[senor_camaro]

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

some info here

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.
