After posting last night I got to thinking. Is a mark 5 roller? There's one of them at the building

Yes

and no mechanical fuel pump provision

the worst bbc ever created which is why it only lasted 4ish years

I guess that raises the question: can you put a factory roller cam and lifters in while retaining a mechanical fuel pump?

No

On a Mark V there is no where to bolt a fuel pump onto the block.

They did not machine that area for one.

All factory Mark V's were electric fuel pump

The cam does not have a fuel pump lobe on it either

I was just poking around on Summit. Looks like BBC retrofit roller cam and lifter sets are in the $700-1000 range. Ouch!

IIRC, he has an in tank electric pump, but it's not hooked up. Then, you get into big return lines to bleed the pressure off for a carb......
