Ford 351W roller cam retrofit kit. Comp Cams kit SK35-427-8 and kit 31-1000. Part 2

A second issue popped up with the Ford 351W roller cam retrofit kit. Comp Cams kit SK35-427-8 and kit 31-1000. There was an interference issue with the dog bones to block in three locations.

I’m working on the same project

I'm feeling like less of a hack. I just found a master build's video that solves this issue the exact same way.

What push rods?

[@jimbougard8560]

Sorry, this was a couple years ago. Since then my entire home and garage was flooded during hurricane Ian. I no longer have the record of the part number. If I remember correctly, Summit recommended the correct pushrods when I ordered the kit.

[@gregory9740]

You're having issues because the lifter bosses are not tall enough, you should of went with link lifters.

[@cammontreuil7509]

The same parts in the wrecking yard. Even can use used Ford lifters. Comp makes junk. Ford parts are better.
I'm using stock Ford roller lifters in a modified boss 302.
Can easily spin stock roller hydraulic lifters to 7,000.

You can't use oem lifters in a non roller block. The oiling holes are in a different location and you won't get oil through the pushrods to the rockers

@@jasonochs8369 you can if you off set grind the cam.

[@jasonochs8369]

@@cammontreuil7509 so can you explain more because there's not a lot of info out there on this. I'm guessing it means getting a custom ground cam? I couldn't just use an off the shelf cam, correct?

[@MatthewJohnson-o4x]

I’ve never heard of offset grinding a cam. What exactly are you talking about?​@@cammontreuil7509

How has this worked out for you? I’m looking doing same thing.

[@jimbougard8560]

It's running great!
