Solid lifter Q
Can you use Chevy solid lifters in a 400 Pontiac with a SFT cam? Any reason you can't?

For awhile in the 80s you could not get a Pontiac solid lifter. So I ran Chevy solids with a longer pushrod. I did not have any issues with them.

Its not just a push rod lenght issue, sometimes being able to use them in a Pontiac depends on the base circle diameter of your Cam .
If the oil band drops out below the bottom of the lifter Bore then it's by by lifter Bore once you start the motor or soon after.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
