1.    Is there any quick & dirty way to tell if I have solid or hydro
lifters in my engine?  The engine runs very strong although I don't really
have a Pantera reference point.  I have medium rumpety-rump at idle.  I seem
to have virtually no valve train noise, but it's hard to tell with the big
bore mufflers.

2.    Is there a listing anywhere of what cars came with a 351-C?  Has the
north Texas area been searched for donor cars with these engines?

Thanks,
Jack Tunnell
