WTB 60deg V6 Hyd Roller Lifters

[Blazer406]

Goto the AutoZone website and do a search. I came up with a Melling hydraulic roller lifter, PN JB-2270, with a price of $15.99 each.

That site comes up with the correct lifter.... however... advance auto parts, napa, or oreilly's can confirm this. They are slacking I guess.... I was already doubting advance's site because they were showing a mechanical tappet.... I would think all OEM's were roller at this point......

You are thinking of the Olds 3.5L, NOT the 3500.

What year, make, and model did the engine come in?

edit: Looking at the 60 DEG V6 Family Tree on here.....I see in '04... the 3500 in the Malibu... but when I look up replacement lifters for this motor at Advance Auto Parts..... the lifters show up as flat tappet.... not roller tappet....???

Well, then I have a set from a 3500 if they will work. Have 23k miles on them and I bought the engine for the top end, so it was running good when dissasembled.

I can measure the length on Mon for you.

Best I can tell... the 3500 is a close cousin to the Northstar... and is also a 90 deg V6... and DOHC...I don't think they are in the same engine family....

1999-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
2001-2002 Oldsmobile Aurora

I don't think they are in the same family as the 3.1L and 3.4L.... unless someone can shed some additional light.....

Hey guys, I need the same stuff as I want to try the same conversion.

So....

Short roller lifters 90 degree V6, 3.1 - 3.4, see application list above

I would like to get a couple sets, from non-grenaded engines.

I also need dogbones from a 3800, and the retainer from a ~86 3.8L FWD like a LeSabre.

Thanks!!!

You guys see if you can help Bob out.... he meant 60 deg V6 (above).... My conversion was fairly painless... and I am about to re-install my engine.... My funds has pushed my project way longer than expected. I really have high expectations for this conversion...

Thanks again guys for your help....

[ForcedFirebird]

As long as the lifters are the same diameter, they should work with custom pushrods. That is, providing you have a way to retain them square to the cam.

I can get you pics tonight, they are all in good shape. I also have the pushrods and rockers if you would need those and I would let it all go for $100 shipped. But either way I will get the pics of the lifters tonight.

[Blazer406]

I also have another friend about to try this conversion.... and he needs some dogbones out of a 3800.... I realize this isn't a 60 deg motor.... but wondered if you guys might have some of them as well....

[Blazer406]

I have a set from a 3400 from an 01 that I would let go for $40 shipped as well.

You have any pics... decently close up....

Please send to bdykes@beabulldog.com
