Stock Roller Lifters
 

Are we allowed to use the hydraulic roller lifters that use the link bar for alignment instead of using the original type with the spider and dogbones? 305 Chevy stocker.

No...but you can use them in Super Stock if you'd rather be there LOL

Re: Stock Roller Lifters
 

You cannot use a solid roller lifter.
If the engine was hydraulic roller from the factory it is legal to use aftermarket hydraulic roller lifters with tie bar.
Always check with your division tech director.

Wow ! I'm sure you'd know ,Frank.
I just can't keep up with this new Stock.
This is for safety, no doubt.

Re: Stock Roller Lifters
 

Mark, no performance advantage the lifter is heavier.taller.

Re: Stock Roller Lifters
 

Then I would assume you could use an early block to build a roller motor for Stock?

Re: Stock Roller Lifters
 

Yes

Re: Stock Roller Lifters
 

Taller is a good thing ,allows for a shorter pushrod,extra weight on the lifter side of the rocker not a problem.Bill C.

Re: Stock Roller Lifters
 

Agreed Bill! Was waiting for Mark to mention that.
Shorter can be stiffer for less deflection in the valve train.

As soon as they started allowing bow tie blocks mark they started allowing the use of the hydraulic tie bar lifters. I do agree the new version of stock is definitely way different than the rules we had when I started in the mid 90's, I can only imagine how much different it is for guys that started in the 70's and 80's or earlier...such is life I guess...lol
