Not that I will ever own one, but I was looking at a new model Chevy and its neat how the block is designed for Roller cams with the little brackets that keep them turned right without adding weight to the valve-train. Why not incorporate this into the new blocks its a better design and the lifters are way cheaper !!

The block is designed to work with what is on the market currently.Im sure this has been a massive expense to both Bob and Frank not to mention the time they have spent working on the project.Im just happy a honest bunch of people got together to make a quality block for the consumer.You can use chevy lifters in the block anyway.Brian Ulrich

The oil groove in the lifter is in a different spot than on the Pontiacs.
