Deciding of valvetrian for 360

Does anyone make roller rockers and lifters for the AMC 360?
i am looking for power in the 1500-6500 Rpm range Would there be any benifit in this range or would if have to rev higher to het any? How much did it cost if it has been done? What about solid rods instead of hydraulic?

Harlan Sharp has bolt ons, but looks like Summit (http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?Ntt=roller+rockers&searchinresults=false&Ntk=KeywordSearch&DDS=1&N=115&target=egnsearch.asp&x=25&y=11) has raised their prices :smile:

May I ask what solid and hydraulic rods are?

Overall though for a street engine as small as a 360 you don't need to worry about roller valvetrains. Flat-tappets still have a lot of potential, to manys disbelief, and the cost of switching to a roller will be at least $400-$500 more than a flat-tappet, money that should be put into a set of edelbrock heads that will show you a much larger gain.
