I'm almost ready to order a new cam for my 383 SBM... I have a new set of solid lifters on the shelf (Non-EDM).

My cam grinder sez I can't use an EDM lifter with my stock LA shaft rockers but I wonder if using a Crower Cam Saver lifter where there is a flat machined on the outside of the lifter body would help get oil to the lifter face. I don't run real high spring rates ...maybe 150/400 or so... just wondering if anyone has used these lifters?

I'll call my cam guy to get his opinion, too.
