can you run just a plain ol hydraulic cam in a roller block 5.0 5.8 ford .
dont even ask why cause then I will have to tell ya

 

Yes, I have a solid flat tappet in mine right now.....

 

Now I have to ask Do you just run the flat tappet push rods with those? And can you run the non adjustable rockers with that or do you have to run adjustable?
Lean sumthin everyday

 

With the solid I am running I have to have adjustable stuff..... I am using early 351W heads with stud mounted rackers.....

If you were going to use a hyd flat tappet cam with the non adjustable rockers you could probably use the pushrods out of say an 84 5.0 since they had flat tappets in them, but I would check for proper pushrod length to make sure.....

 

With this set up, I would assume that your running flat tappet length pushrods???

 

thats what I wanted to hear I dont want to have to buy a roller cam and new hardened push rods right now when I have several hyd cams and hard pushrods now
