    Hello,
    I have a 1962 170 that I'm going to rebuild. It has mechanical lifters and an adjustable rocker assembly. If I put in hydraulic cam and lifters, is it compatible? Is there correct passages for the amount of oil that the hydraulic lifters need?

    Thanks in advance,

    Yes it is compatible. The oil passages are the same for hydraulics as for mechanical.
