yes it does i forget what yr chrysler started using those lifters it may have been in 86 i would check with your local dealer/parts supplier if that engine was not equipped with roller lifters they will not work. the block has to be designed to hold the lifters from turning in order to do this dog bone retainers were used glenn beasley chrysler tech i bought a cam and lifters for my 86 318 on ebay. the lifters are roller lifters. will these work in my engine without any modifications after 92 on the 360 around 91 on the 318 and v6. so my 97 dakota 4x4 sport has roller lifters .
