I'm aware of a couple but am not sure if there are others? Thanks in advance.

I also had great luck with crower. Comp Cams not so much. Leon Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

The bodies are comparatively longer and required a shorter pushrod but they work fine. On my block they didn't exactly drop in without a little bit of dremel work around the valley ribs. 6700800-4141.JPG (74 downloads) WIZE World's Quickest Diahatsu Rocky (??) 414" Stroker Small block Mopar Powered. 10.84 @ 123...and gettin' quicker! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mWzLma3YGI In Car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjXcf95e6v0

If he still has the box I can find out the part number. I think they needed a little clearancing, but they dropped in just fine, and because of the pushrod oiling, we bushed the lifter bores.

That is what i did on my old motor. Was an x block, so the same as a standard block is up top. Used crane ultra pro lifters, which required no clearancing at aall as i recall, and bushed the lifter bores( which is generally around a 500-550 dollar operation).Extremely trouble free for a real long time. 69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8

I'd say 1/2 of the lifter bodies had cracks in them. Have no idea why. We replaced them with the lifters Brian at IMM offered. We'll find out this winter on how they are holding up. So far the engine is running great.

I think it will be successful though. 70 Dart Swinger, 2850 lbs SB 408, Bullet roller 264/268 @50 .636 SSDS stage 2 Edelbrock heads, 1 7/8 Headmans, 1050 dominator by Dom, 9.867 @ 133
