I would ask FuelMoto directly. Email them, they'll know. If you're planning on buying their hardware it's worth asking.
I already have the fuel moto adjustables. Was thinking maybe using the SE adjustables because they offer a little more room to work with when adjusting. This is my first cam job and I just want to make it as easy as possible. I heard of some here on the forum complaining that the fuel moto adjustables was difficult to deal with.

I got the SE pushrods because they were the easiest ones suggested so I get where you're coming from. But if you're wondering if they can be used with the Woods lifters, I'd still give FuelMoto a call and ask.
They will know for sure.
As for how easy they are to use, the SE Pushrods definitely required me to have 3 wrenches though to use them. They were a bit tricky getting the jam nut to the end, because it it is precariously close to the end when you get them over the lifter. It felt like I could accidentally spin it the wrong way and have to go searching for a jam nut inside of a cam chest. It took a fair bit of time spinning the nut up then twisting the rod body, and repeating till it made contact. Honestly very time consuming.
And I could not get them to jam them nut down with 2 wrenches like I've seen people do with other adjustables.
I had to have 3 wrenches to get that jam nut tightened down. Trying to keep the flats and wrenches all in place and jam the nut was a pain in the ***.
They were much easier to work with the 2nd time around though, once I had actually used them and figured out how they work.

I use tweezers on the rod. Easier to slip in and hold until I have enough shaft to spin with fingers.

The SE adjustable pushrods will work fine with any or the lifters on the market today for your application. Remember that there are only two manufactures of lifters in the USA, and both were the same company some years back! Woods, S&S,Fuelmoto, Fueling ect. all buy from one or the other.

So long as TPI is the same, adjustment is same, correct?
