I haven't seen any.

The reason is probably because it's such a tight fit on a 302 block. You can't even pull roller lifters out without jerking the heads off first.

You'll see different opinions about rev kits as a lot of builders don't use them. What is important for a high revving solid roller is adequate spring pressure and I start using stud girdles or shaft rockers starting around the 7000-7500 mark. Spinning an engine to 8000 rpm takes more than what most people realize. Making power at 8000 takes a LOT more head and cam than what most people realize as well.

I wouldn't recommend a solid roller for the OP. I think it would be more expense and maintenance than necessary for what he's looking to do.
