To run fuel injection, must I convert my 408 to hydraulic roller, or can I do it with solid rollers?

You can run either, you just need to install the appropriate dist drive gear. Whether it be bronze or cast.

Just remember that there are two shaft sizes.

Trick flow shit seems to be a good bang for the buck.

get an oil pan off of a late 80s-90s crown vic with a 351 in it.

Rob the distributor out of it too if it is efi.

If not, buy one for an F series truck with a 5.8 and TFI then change the gear up, if need be.

Buddy of mine has a clear coated 351 performer RPM clone for a EFI 351 he wants $300 for it. Brand new.
