Hi,

I can possibly get hold of an engine to use as a rebuild 'blank'. It has the tube-less cylinder head.

How can I tell the seller to find out if it has hydraulic or mechanical lifters?

Thanks a lot,
60 Ply

The heads with hydraulic lifters has a different valve cover if I remember correct.

the front of the hydro engine has a small dogleg ....the solid is straight


81 up hydro

When you say the front of the engine, do you mean the front of the block casting? Whereabouts?

I'll ask the seller if he can get hold of a picture.

Easiest way is to look at the side of the block, under the manifolds, for the casting date.

The valve cover and head is wider on Hydraulic engines.
The "dog-leg" notch is on the lower, front right corner of the head/valve cover.
