Anyone aware if they make solid roller lifters for a 4.0 ohv. Also will 2.9 adjustable rockers work in a 4.0? Thanks

Haha yeah ive seen those, looking to just use the 2.9/8 rockers since theyre adjustable, realized those 2.8 lifters arent really roller, theyre solid flat tappets.

Probably going to have to just convert my lifters to solid with some washers and luck..

Why would you want to go to solid lifters with the regular valve adjustments needed? Hydraulic lifters have been working fine for years, if you are building a 4l then I am sure it is not super high out put drag vehicle ( dedicated race) I would seen no reason to create more maintenance then is needed.
