I worked in manufacturing for a few years and suppliers were constantly changing. Having said that, Morel is probably made in the USA and they have a bunch of lifters. Crane, Crower, Isky, etc. are probably made in the USA but I don't know for sure.

They are just sending a spec and receiving a part to that spec. As long as the lifter is for that engine its just as good as any other lifter. But in my case, I know that the majority of the cam lobe failures are lifters, not camshafts. I just don't want that issue. Yeah Hughes sells their cams with a guarantee of a no lobe failure on break in, but theres stipulations big time!!. So I guess Ill just do some digging. I should have bought the schubeks a few years ago when I had the chance.
