block is a 71 351 w if i went with that kit above for my motor would i have to run a reduced basecircle cam? motor is a 408 4 inch stroke. summit said i wouldnt have to but ive heard about problems with the oiling holes ligning up etc.
Thanks,
Tom

Yea, you'd need a reduced base circle cam to use the factory style roller lifters. Crane makes a set of link bar hydraulic rollers that can be used with the off the shelf std base 5.0 roller cams but they cost somewhere north of $400.

then would i even need to get this kit from summit with the dogbones etc if they were linkbar lifters. basically what im hearing is i need to use special linkbar lifters to use std basecircle cam?

no, you don't need the kit with the special crane lifters.
yes, you need to use the special lifters to use a std base cam.

what if i was to say want to use a solid roller in my 71 block? who makes lifters for that?

Every cam mfg makes solid rollers. Take your pic. But you'll need screw in studs, guide plates, springs, retainers and full roller rockers to take advantage of a solid roller. Then you'll have a rev potential that'll over power the bottom end.

motor is being built and fully ballanced by owens racing in tx heads will be either darts 225 cnc head or afrs 225 head

Yea, I'd say a solid roller wouldn't be a bad idea.
