Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think that the gen 6 roller lifters will work in the gen 5 block with out some machining/modifications. For it to be a put in and play you need the retro fit or "bar" type of lifters to prevent the lifters from rotating in the lifter bores. I know on the gen 6 the "dog bones" prevent this from happening but from what I understand the gen 5 had no where to install the dog bones as the top of the lifter bores( inside the valley) do not have a machined surface for them to sit and no spot for the retainer to bolt to. Can anyone confirm this

i believe some gen 5's have the surfaces for the dog bones and mounting holes for the spiders already done to them from the factory. i assume you have the intake off and are sure yours does not?
