Do you know if that will work with Solid or Hyd roller lifters?

Most valley pans need to be clearanced for roller lifters.

the early non egr pans dont need clearanced for most roller lifters, this looks like an early pan. almost even a copy of the original tomahawk aftermarket pans?

This says TOMAHAWK right across the front pyramid, so it should clear roller setups, since Ace designed it for that purpose... unless someone is copying the Tomahawk pan- it's China, so ya never know... I'm hoping there's only one manufacturer, and that this is a genuine Tomahawk valley pan- I guess I'll find out in a week or so.

didnt see the tomahawk at first in the pic, almost like parts place was trying to hide it... but yes its a tomahawk pan designed off the early non egr pans & both will work with hyd rollers according to what ace told me when i bought mine.

Thanks for posting. That's a great deal - and appears to be the legit Tomahawk part because it's $149 on the Inline Tube website, which is the same price as JBP.

Last one I bought was from a Pontiac dealer for about 75$ I thought that was expensive at the time

strange its $149 at inline because the ebay link is inlines ebay account motorcitymusclecar, & they have to pay ebay seller fees of ~10%.

Thanks, after I got out my 6" magnifying glass I too could discern the Tomahawk logo

Out of curiosity, why do I see daylight through the PCV hole in the first photo? If it is a true Tomahawk piece, then I would suspect that someone just got carried away with Photoshop.

The Tomahawk is a copy of the 1970 valley cover. I run one, looks just like that and it clears roller lifters. I had to gring the top of the bolts for my Megga Brace though.
