Who has a roller lifter that basically just drops in ? I've heard stories of some that uncover the oil holes and some that you have to grind on the block to use. Are there any that work good that just drop right in. I have a kit to tube and peen my block, but I have heard some go right in and you dont have to do a thing. It will be a pretty big roller with 1.7 ex rockers and 1.8 int rockers. Thanks for any help

Member on here, ou812, Brian, sells custom SB roller lifters from Comp Cams that will drop in witout any clearance issues. They have pretty good shrouding over the roller wheel too. But if you have too much lift, there is NO lifter that will prevent you from having to tube the Block or install bushings in the lifter bores. But his will give you the best advantage.

You didnt say which block you are using..but the BEST roller lifter out there are the crane ultra pro's 5 years thus far with zero issues, nice lifters.
Dropped right in my X block, but i run bushed lifters BECAUSE i pushrod oil with Jesel rocker gear.

Crane's are not the best out there anymore 
These lifters are as good or better and they are less $$$!
Crane's are good, no doubt about it, but there is no need to pay more when you can get as good or better lifters from me

I have heard bad about the ultra pro's also,some people have had great luck with them.
I have been running comps as well for awhile and have had zero problems with them,the crowers are also a good choice.

Those Lifters are not custom anymore and will be listed in the Comp catalog, I have one of the original two sets produced by Comp they are very stout and drop right in, my lifter bores were bored and bushed which also corrects angle and position of the factory lifter bores.
Yes that's true, but they still act as if they know nothing about them.
I still don't know what price they are giving them....I will say that I can get these lifters in short bodies, tall upper bodies, solid bodies, and the bb lifters in .180 offsets, as well as short and tall bodies...Comp won't stock all those I guarantee that!!!
If they don't have the oil hole in the body running parallel with the axle, they are not the new design.

Its a stock 360 block and the cam will have roughly .400 lobe lift, maybe a tad more. We'll tube and peen it too.
