undy, Crane said their solid rollers don't have a problem like you mentioned. Do you have any experience with the Crane solid rollers?

Excaliber, do you know if the Pond block allow for the increased oil pressure needed for the solid rollers?

Will the stock Edelbrock FE alum heads work with the solid rollers or will I need to upgrade springs?

bobcowan, I know what you mean about getting accurate info for dist. gears. I got 20 different opinions from MSD and Comp Cams for my sbf roller cam...depending on the day.

Are there other distributors other than MSD that offer plug and play with the MSD 6AL? I ask because my wiring is already installed.
The cam is not very radical, for a solid roller. Peak power probably will be around 7K, +/-.

You need to talk to Barry R (survival motorsport) or Keith Craft on what's required, if anything, to modify the Pond block to work with a solid roller. I am still not understanding why you're hung on a solid roller.

Buy the Ebok heads bare and build them to your cam/engine's specs. The assembled ones come with 2.09 intakes (too small for a 427 up) and springs suited for a flat tappet up to .600 lift.

Check what your cam mfr recommends for the distributor gear. MSD makes a ditributer "roller" gear for my hydraulic roller application. Some roller cam mfrs are making their distributor drive gears (on the cam) a little more distributor gear friendly.
