This is not "new" to me. I ran a modified set of solid roller lifters with a plate system for years in a 4 speed, 4.88 geared GTO before any of this fancy hyd roller stuff was available (1981).

After waiting on Johnson to make another run of hyd rollers for our Pontiacs and having delay after delay, I decided to make my plate system available before hearing about the spider which has too many loose parts that need to be modified and lead to failure.

I'm making a single plate system that's adjustable and will be standard equipment on our Injun builds. It's solid and won't be the cause of a failure.

Jim's idea may work great but as for me, no Ford parts will be found in our Pontiac builds.

The AIRLPGS will work with any heads but the cast iron heads are on the back burner.
