Crane Cams Rolls Out New Energizer Series Retro-Fit Hydraulic Roller Lifters For Performance Street Engines

Crane is on a rampage these days with the new stuff! This time we’re talking about a new line of Energizer retro-fit roller lifters for high performance street engines. They have applications available for small block Chevy engines, Chevy W-engines, Ford small blocks of multiple generations, FE big blocks, 385 series big blocks, Chrysler LA small blocks, Chrysler B series big blocks, Pontiacs, and Oldsmobiles. Buick guys, don’t freak out yet, they may be cooking something up for you as well.

These are cool pieces and they are made with the quality you have come to expect from Crane. Swapping to a roller cam is a great option in today’s age of crummy oils and other issues that have been afflicting flat tappet came. Obviously there are performance advantages as well from the cam grinds available to the more efficient operation of a roller lifter versus a flat tappet. Nothing against flat tappets of course but the world lives on roller lifters for a reason now, right? These are true “drop in” pieces and they have done a good job of making them available for a ton of different engines.

Swapping a cam soon? Spring for some new roller lifters!

    Maybe it’s just me, but that ought to be one huge mother of an engine that only spins a 230-240* @ .050 intake to 5500 rpm?

  2. TheSilverBuick

    That’s the zone my duration is in and I spin it to about 6,000rpm. Which is probably 500 more than I should =P

    “Buick guys, don’t freak out yet, they may be cooking something up for you as well.”

    I am waiting for the line of cams and rollers =D

    Ones for the FE engine perked my interest. I keep waffling between re-building the T-bird’s engine with a stroker kit and some bolt ons versus just LS turbo’ing it.
