Default Small Base Circle Cam

Hi All,

NEWBY to the forum and could use some info.

I am in the process of building a 396 LT4 stroker with a small base circle cam and my builder wants to verify that we can use the Cadillac racing hydraulic roller lifters or will they sit too low for the links and the spider retainer.

Thanks,
Ray

Likely fine, but as there is no standard for 'small base circle' it needs to be mocked up to determine how your individual parts come together.
