Ive run Comps lifters with good results, Change them after 200 runs. Just wondering what else there is that a drop in, If not what needs to be done to run them.Thanks for your time Jim F

That sounds expensive to somebody like me that has run the same $189 flat tappet solid lifters for 5 years and 700 passes. That would be 4 sets of the roller lifters by now, and at $400/set that is $1600 in lifters. I guess that is the price you pay for the roller. A rebuild program should be able to reduce the long term cost, right?

Dominic, aluminum blocks are different animals than cast iron like we use Regular steel rollers lifters work good in our blocks Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

I bought two sets of Crane Hemi roller lifters for blown Hemi motors last year and they look like thier chromed also, the middle pair part # is listed as for BAE Hemi blocks As far as I know Brad Andersen never made any cast iron or compact graphite iron blocks,only cast aluminum and billet aluminum race blocks for top fuel and aloholol applications I guess the old adage of "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" applys to your appication EDITED: This picture doesn't really show the differences between the standard stock steel body on the left and the other two pair of Crane race lifters in the middle and the right side for the taller World blocks,sorry for the lack of quality on the picture 7418305-MVC-003S.JPG (38 downloads) Last edited by Cab_Burge; 10/12/12 05:11 PM.
