[TheProfessor]

Yes, but at a major cost... Here is one of the only custom setups I know utilizing hyd. rollers in a Gen 2 block...

[TheProfessor]

The guy that is building that engine is the same guy that fabricates the TBs and AFPRs for FDP. He's a mechanical engineer in Finland. When I discussed the project with him, he was cursing it alot. There was alot of trial and error to get the aligning plates right. And then he had to drill and tap the bolt in order to get it to bolt down. I think the hardest thing for him was getting the 3 pieces to align together and still line up with all of the rockers. Its been awhile since I've talked to him about it, so I'm just going by what I recall. Without the skills or facilities to do your own design and machining, you'd be way better off just going to a Gen 3 block.

The guy is having to extend the lifter bores for the taller roller lifters. It would be a real pain in the butt to do.
