My 351 SVO block has no holes in the valley for the spider to hold the lifters in place. Why would this be? Also I know its a roller block because I confirm casting number and specs with SVT. Are my only options making the holes or just buying the over priced Crane Cams set-up?
Also should I go mechnical lifters or hydraulic

You don't have a SVO block if the holes are missing. They all come with provisions for roller cams.

Either get the holes drilled & tapped for the spider bar or use retrofit lifters.
SVO/R block are a pretty penny to get fully machined.

If the bosses are there, drill and tap them yourself. Not a big deal, just trial fit the lifter spider, mark the holes, and get busy.
