lifters
I think this is a viable option. The sealed power lifter is a very good quality lifter. I have run a similar setup using the 2148 lifter and it works well. The limitation I have had is depending on your block and how the lifter bore holes were finished (some have a chamfer from the tooling) the lifter oil hole will come out of the life bore at max lift and this happened somewhere between .385 and .400 lobe lift. This is very block dependent so you need to check closely on your block with your cam. I have experimented with the ls7 lifter and the oil hole is way to high in the lifter i will attach a picture once I get it off my phone. Im glad Randy Is woking on this project as it will be cost effective. The main advantage to this over a link bar lifter is weight. This set up is much lighter than a link bar lifter allowing you to run different valve train components that help extend life and increase higher RPM potential. Just my 2 cents worth.
