E Block roller cam

I am wanting to put a roller cam into my 67 E block. I know i need to bush the lifter bores, what cam's work best. Maybe 5.00 lift or slightly more?
I know its a different animal but i have a 535 lift in my small block Vette, very thumpy very powerful, thats what i want, without being
too radical. Any suggestions?

Lift means nothing when it comes to lope/thumpy etc.
You'll need to either bush the block to .842 or ream it to .937 and use a solid roller lifter.

Ok Mark, thank you.
I guess what i am asking is what is the best brand cam and lifters to use. I have the forged pistons
i bought from you several years ago that i will use , once i gather everything up to refresh my motor.
Seems i read somewhere, that Crane cams has Oldsmobile specific roller lifters?

Crane is long gone.
But Comp, Howard’s and other have Olds specific lifters, but they’re .842’s.
