rebuilding LS6 for chevelle

[69 Post Sedan]

I’m also a big fan of the clattering of a solid lifter car., I’d do anything I could to run at least a solid roller as it’s the easiest to do the initial startup but if you can find a good solid flat tappet solid lifter supplier, I’d try that route.

I spoke to one engine builder and he ONLY uses USA made Johnson Lifters for his builds…..but it looks like they only make roller lifters. So if you decide to go with a solid roller, maybe check them out.

Oh and I work at BTR and do all the custom cam work as well as run the Spintron and engine dyno from time to time when help is needed .
We are grinding cams inhouse but aren't doing anything BB although I spec and have them ground for customers all the time
