I'll let others talk about trying it with TRactor motors, but roller cams
are a lot more than 20 years old.

I can remember reading an article around 1975 about what happens when the
lifter bores are not perpendicular to the cam axis and you convert to a
roller cam; and it was not new technology then.

Check out any cam maker's web site for more info.  Crane's at

has a picture of roller lifters right at the top ...
