Someone on the b-body forum was proudly proclaiming "largerst hydraulic roller on the forum" for awhile, believe it ran 13s. I think he learned a lesson.

Overcamming is one of the oldest and most enduring mistakes in hotrodding. Not going to go away any time soon either.

I stumbled on the thread while searching for something.
It just seemed like the most obvious answer

Don't waste your time with that junk ... LT6 is where it's at.
The LT7 one was way too big for a 350, you have to bore/stroke it to 409 1/2 CID and use Teflon gaskets to make it useful.
