Default Re: Wanted BBC early roller cam/lifters

I may be mistaken, and someone will *gladly* correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought grooving the lifter bores was simply another aid @ rebuild time to get more oil to the lifters, and not necessarily a necessity...so it wouldn't be cam/lifter specific, right? The early big blocks required a grooved rear journal on the cam to oil the lifters, and the groove can be added to any cam...been there, done that!
