I'm here...just stuffin my face with turkey still Yes, the LSx lifters are exactly he same dimensions as the old SBC stuff (assuming hydraulic roller of course). You could easily run the "LS7" lifters PN 12499225 and be good up to about 7000rpm. They are $99.25 and free shipping!! If you look into the issue farther, they have the same casting number as the 12371042's do

We'll be working tomorrow (Friday) and Monday to help with any questions you might have!

Call those guys and get that lined out. They'll need to setup your account and start a ticket so that when your money order arrives it'll go to the right place.

RACE ON!!!
Why is that? I had done it from advice from an "old timer" and everything worked fine. It was a year or so later that I heard for the first time that it was not recommended. I would think getting as much oil in as possible would be best, or if you are reusing old lifters to submerse them in oil, or at least keep them standing up, to keep as much oil in them as possible. Do you have any idea what ill effects would come from this? I have no idea why it is not recommended. I only suggested it because jsup is having a problem and it would be worth a try. But for $100 for a new set of lifters on your doorstep, I might jump on that bandwagon myself.

If one stuck, it may not be long before you're replacing them all.

One by one.
