Question for Y block engine builders / racers or ?
Is there any reason other than money that the Y block lifer bores could not be bored and bushed to accept a standard solid lifter?
I assume when building a performance Y block that the lifter bores are checked for correct placement and corrected if they are out of spec.
Just thinking that if they could be converted it would open up a huge selection of cams including hydraulic lifters, solid and hydraulic rollers.

If Ted reads this, I'll be coming by to see you at some point.  I bought a 55 Victoria 2 door HT I'm restoring as a driver, but I'm sure I will not be able to stand it stock..lol
