I do have a queston. What did the engine originally come out of? That could make a difference in finding the right part. The reason I ask is that you mention that it's a hydralic cam engine, which leads me to beleive it's either a Passenger car w/Powerglide, or it's a '58-'62 block. The earlier blocks usd in trucks and std shift cars were mechanical cams, and were not drilled for hydralic lifters until '58.

What kind of lifters came out of the engine?? As far as I know hydraulics won't work in that block. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 88 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 88 | thanks you are the man! you gave me a good contact | | |
