VDOG You dont have to change anything on the heads except springs and get a pushrod length checking tool cause theres a good chance you'll need shorter pushrods.
I'd like to to OE roller and spider but I don't think I can do it with the motor in the truck, this is a daily driver so I can't pull the motor for a cam swap

I'd like to run solid roller but I'm looking at a small cam and they don't make many small rollers in of the shelf designs, plus I drive the truck everyday so a solid roller would probably be more trouble than its worth
