Don't be silly. As most lifters come from only a few manufacturers, chances are the main body of Lifter X has the same body as Lifter Y and Lifter Z. Now the internal tolerances may be different, but what meets the camshaft is pretty much uniform from lifter to lifter. Anyhow it's been done literally a hundred million times or more.

Also, most cam cores come from one of two or so manufacturers.

You can use different brands lifters/cam. Anyone remember Rhodes lifters? They were supposed to "bleed down" at low rpm to mellow out a larger hydraulic cam. I used them on a 292/509 purple shaft cam with not issue at all.
