Lifters

What’s is a good OEM lifter replacement. I’m going to keep the solid push rods I want check the oil passages in the rocker arms.

Lifter replacement options.

Best bang for Buck I’ve found is the SE lifters. They’re cheaper but seem to be of comparable quality as some of the other big name brands. They’re not race lifters but for the average street Hotrod build they’re just fine.

I've gone with S&S last two builds. I'll be honest, based on brand name. But I suspect any of the big brand names are good. Bastards are two cheap for stickers now.

Most now are made in Mexico and there have been quality and longevity issues but each to his own. WFO Larry's Hy-Lifts may cost a bit more but you do get what you pay for.
