A guy told me that a hyd. roller cam from a 302 will fit the 351w non roller block utilizing a retro kit (installing the spyder bar) with stock ford hyd roller lifters. Is this true I thought a special lifter was required? Thanks

Yes a 302 cam will fit in the 351.

However to use a stock lifter bar and stock lifter you need to run a SMALL BASE CIRCLE cam (not the stock cam)

To run a STOCK cam you need to buy the linked bar lifters, which IMO is a better way to go.

Thanks, that's what I thought that the linked bar lifters were needed. A stock hyd roller 302 cam is a .950 base? What would the small base cam
be?
