T one time the lifter bores were broached with a slot, and the lifters had a pin that road in the slot to prevent rotation. I had one of the blocks, but it used the present staples. Interesting stories about the value of this cam. I ran one at Danbury, however, it was damaged when one of the lifters failed. This was an owner supplied engine and I replaced the cam with the 400jr. Over the years several engine builders tried this cam, but the performance, didn't justify the cost.
