Approx cost of coverting to roller??
OK, I can't find a roller block anywhere!! Does anyone have an idea how much it will cost to convert a 70's truck block to work with my LPE 219/219 roller cam. What exactly has to be done for this to work?

I am not the most proficient with LPE cams, but it that is a factory roller design (i.e. stepped nose for cam sprocket). You will need retro roller lifters, shorter pushrods, yada yada, and a factory roller tiing set like the one from the Comp 3100 series.
Do a search. This has come up before. And check eBay.

you'll need, a set of retro-fit roller lifters(the kind with the linkbar)
your roller cam, a cam button, the right distributor gear, and a timing cover that won't flex if the cam trys to walk forward.
the most expensive thing is going to be the lifters.
