I'm looking for professional input. I have a very nice 368 block. Not looking to build a race engine but wondering what i can do to pump it up a little. Can I run roller lifters/cam?

Marty;  Don't know, but have you tried  garycroan@gmail.com  in CostaMesa,  re the adaptor for your AOD ?  or at 949-722-1122.. I think he operates as Bristol Services?

Funny you should mention Gary. Earlier, (2019) he tried to give me a 368 engine but I couldn't make arrangements to pick it up, it was too far away. I really hated to pass it up but such is life. Thanks for the info, when I get closer to the completed engine, I'll give him a call. I think Bendtsen is at $1300 complete with starter. Once my fancy 8 stack Weber system is complete, we'll hook it up to our running 368 and hopefully get it running right. I feel fortunate that I have the resources available to attempt this kind of project. It will definitely be a first.
