The other issue with a roller set up is that it’s overkill for a stock type rebuild with a stock cam or a person wanting to do a simple cam swap to hot rod their old cruiser. The cost is prohibitive & it requires some head work for springs & studs then a new gear for the distributor plus a valley pan possibly, plus, plus, etc, that’s beyond what most folks will do for a weekend cam swap in the garage. Hopefully more manufacturers start utilizing DLC coated lifters so the guy who wants an 068 to upgrade from his 066 has a viable path for a small upgrade that will last & not break the bank.
