[Tigers] 289 5 bolt and rollers

[mmichels at socal.rr.com]

I am using that setup. Comp Cams hydraulic roller lifters with "dogbone" type lifter retainers. Machine shop simply had to machine threads into lifter valley to bolt the retainers down. Seems like a pretty routine procedure. Machine shop preferred dogbone retainers rather than the linked pair type of lifters. Works fine.
