solid roller my motor has a solid roller in it and im looking to step down a little since iti s a 265 273 @ .050 id like to step down to something like a 250ish cam. can i use any old SBC cam? or does it need to be LT1 specific?
I have a Joe O spec'd LT1 billet erson solid roller cam for sale if you are interested. The specs are
257 266 @.050 106lsa .640 lift intake and exhaust with 1.6 rockers. I have the exact figures if you are interested. The cam was installed but never used as I went a different route with the engine. $200 shipped.
T oanswer your question. It will need to be LT1 specific cam as I believe the front of the cam is a little different.

You can use a traditional SBC roller cam. You'll just have to get it machined for the optispark. The cam I have is a mild Cam Motion cam. Specs are 248/250 .650/.610 on a 112 lsa.

thats part of the reason for stepping down in cam the 265 273 @ .050 cam is to big for what i want to do with the car. that and the 2 bolt block even with ARP bolts i don't think will like to be shifted 7500 + like the heads and cam will want.
newbie question i guess, whats the advantages to going solid roller?
valvetrain? do the lifters collapse or something?
if so i thought theyre were companies out there making stronger parts for high revs?

im not running an opti but still have the water pump does that matter? i run a carb intake and distributor
Not at all. In that case all you need is a roller cam (cam that uses a cam plate to stay in place).
Stud mount. IMO I don't think shaft mount is necessary unless going over 7000rpm.
Able to run a far more aggressive lobe and the valvetrain will remain stable.
