Rhoads Lifters

Mr. King · February 23rd, 2007, 10:07 PM

Anyone have any experience with Rhoads lifters in the Olds 330? I bought a 66 Cutlass and the guy who had the car put the W-31 cam in it. The Duration is 308! Way too much for the street. I was thinking that the Rhoads lifters might make it more streetable in the lower rpms while still keeping the high rpm pull that the motor currently has.

Any advice?

Hello, Yes, I believe they will help. Most stuff I have heard on these lifters has been postive, the only negative tal was from a fellow who's car lost a little time in the quarter mile but isn't that to be expected? I would think so. I heard nothing but good stuff about the guy who owns the company. They had a post of ROP and everyone said he is a good guy and bents over backwards to help you. Later, Ken

I have heard people who like them and don't like them, have never used them myself though. Here is an example of the pros and cons from another site. Hope you get what you need.
