    few things to keep in mind..

     

    The roller may not have a fuel pump cam installed, and even may not have the slot in the timing cover for the mech fuel pump.

    Depending on the setup, water pump rotation could be a issue so make sure you get the all sorted too..

     

    Unless its a retro fit roller :D

     

    Thanks for that very helpful!!! I've just started looking so I'll suss all that out.

    How are you going to set the front of the engine up and are you running a carb or efi?

    Electric or mechanical fuel pump?

     

    Hoping mechanical to keep it simple.

    At the moment I got no certain engine in mind, I've just had a quick look at the engines that popped up on eBay under '302 roller engine' just to get an idea. I've got pacemakers #ph4030 which suit XW-XY with Windsors. I've sent an email or two asking what heads just wanting on reply.

    Thanks guys. I've been doing some research and roller seams the way to go. I've came across a long roller engine for $3500, so I might just get that instead of rebuilding.

    Besides the obvious difference between flat tap and roller engine, what's a better engine?

    I have a hydraulic flat tappet in my XW at the moment which is due for a rebuild. I seen a 302 Windsor roller long engine for sale at a reasonable price. Are they a better running engine etc etc?
