Small Block & Big Block Chevy Specific - lt4 hot cam in a non roller pre 80 bloc?

I have the block and cam but the cam sprocket does not match up please help

I have the cam too,, already converted everything else I thnk

Any help?

Pictures, year etc would help

They sell conversion lifters you will probably have to use a cam button since you cant retain it in the block like they do in the newer blocks

Will post as soon as possible, but the problem is the car sprocket is different

Still have not had the time to post pictures but I have fixed the issue. Pre-roller blocks, lt1-lt4, vortecs have different cam sprockets on the timing set

The factory roller cams have a smaller bolt pattern. You need an 87-Up timing set. You also need retro fit lifters ($450+)

I have everything you need if you want to make the swap, pm me

thanks but I have a set. even answered my own question but i figured i might as well post pictures and updates so people will know they did not waste their time with helping me. but thanks really

also i found out that you can not use a LT4 timing set because of the water pump

You also need a place to put the retainer plate!!! Not going to work the older blocks.

I am bit confused about what you mean can you explain?

Later blocks use a retainer plate that goes between the cam and the timing gear to keep the cam from moving front to rear.

I have a cam button to control thrust

With out the retainer plate your cam will be pushed back in the block to far.

I kinda hate text becauce of the lack of emotion but thanks really for all your help and knowledge with this build.

I have found a great and cheap workaround for the issue. So you anyone can install a factory roller in a nonroller block. I have to post so others will know
