I've seen Schneider cams has roller cams available for TC engines.Does anyone have experience with them or perhaps another brand?A roller can be a big advantage with no break in or wear problems.

Very difficult to understand ,,there's no way the lifter is gonna stay in place unless the bottom had kinda like a ball bearing type of thing!!

There is a guy posts by the name of Radar who claims to have had roller cam and lifter setup manufactured to suit the 3TC... He used to be on the old forums and he is on Toymods forums.
If you wander over to this link:
http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/showth ... ght=roller there is a picture of the roller lifter setup. It doesn't show it in a block though. I don't think you need to be a member to view the thread.
I will NOT be held to be verifying it will work as a consequence of posting the link however!
Cheers,
Jason

This and a roller rocker set up with efi and boost would be insane.

I did hear that a modified small block Ford lifter was used.Rollers have to have the tie bar in between to stabilize them.Normally a roller uses a billet cam but the iron cams can be treated apparently to be good enough for not too aggressive a profile.This could make 3tc's better than most any over head cam set up.

most of the top end pushrod engine roller cams stuff for circle track and road racing has gone away from link bars anyways. Keyed lifters and a slot in the bore do the trick without any external hardware.
