Okay bear with me on this one.

About lifters...
Are solid lifters going to be the same height as hydraulic lifters?
If so is this going to be true for roller and non-roller lifters?

Is anybody familiar with the late 60's early 70's 302s and could tell me what kind of lifters they had. I would actually like to know for both the 'standard' 302 and the Boss 302.

I'm also curious what the camshaft base circle was in those early engines, and has it changed in the 85+ motors.
