I need the spider and dog bones from a 307 with the hydraulic roller cam, for my 425 build.
Thanks Tom

Another chance for me to learn some American English.
What are the spider and dog bones.?

The parts that hold the roller lifters in and straight

These are for a Ferd 5.0, but the Olds parts look similar:

Thanks guys, we just call them guides and retainers over here.
Two nations divided by a common language again.

You would think after all this time you people across the pond would have learned to speak proper English. : )

I'm not joking, I have had Americans praising my grasp of "their" language.
A lot of Americans think I'm Australian or from another English speaking part of the world.
I visit a friend in Texas quite often who is from Australia, we are often asked if we are brothers because "We have the same accent"..
It's fair to say I can't tell which part of North America someone might hail from just from listening to them, except perhaps Texas. Canadians are mostly the ones who point out "they are not Americans - can't I tell?".

How do you define "proper English"?. I bet if we were to be transported back 200 years we would have trouble understanding people no matter which side of the pond we were at.

Not sure what your plans are, but when putting 307 roller setup into a non roller block, you lose a bunch of lift on your cam, and throw off the pushrod angle due to the lifters being so tall.

I mocked everything up once with chevy 4.3 lifters, and after it was all said and done, it wasn't worth the conversion.

Talked with Mark (cutlassefi), he has done roller 455/425 setup before. The base circle on the cam has to me smaller, so it doesn't push the lifter to high. Mine is 425. Not sure if that's just for the 425 or both 425/455. I feel a little reengineering for the gains is worth it.
Thanks Tom
