If you look up the "A" vs "B" lifters on google you'll be able to compare yours to the b to see if they were upgraded. Assume you're still putting new lifters in. Also when you order the 3010 get the no gear version and swap your gear, you'll need a press but it will save you some cash and you won't have to worry about mismatched gears.
Thanks for the info. Looked it up on google, it's got the same style clip as a "A" lifter but appears to have a bigger axle than a "A". Todd

**UPDATE** I just pulled the lifter blocks and cam cover. The lifters appear to be in very good shape. No markings of any sort so in don't know if they are HD of aftermarket. The cam bearing HAS been updated so that is good news! The cam is stock "N" grind. A little oil weeping by the cam cover seal but I will fix that when I put it back together. I'm glad I didn't order the cam bearing tool before I got it opened up. I guess I'm gonna order the VThunder 3010 cam and get her back together. I also picked up a set of stock non adjustable pushrods from my local indy delay for $10. I'll be putting them back in instead of the Crane adjustables Todd
Get a light and really look at that cam bearing. Depending on the mileage, I highly recommend that you change it out when putting in the new cam. The bearings will develop wear patterns. I'm no shop mechanic, but I think this is good shop practice. It doesn't take much time when using the blind hole puller that you can borrow from Advanced Auto. Use the old cam to line the new bearing straight, and then use a driver, again borrowed from Advance Auto to seat the bearing. As for the rollers, if they check out, then I would re-use, if you are trying to save some $$.
