Default Solid roller lifters

Can someone help in identifying these solid roller lifters? They are in a 455 engine I bought. I've had Comp Endurex and Crower solid roller lifters, but non had these mid body raised ridges. Thanks

No. Why would the bores require bushing? Bought this engine several months ago. Raced locally. Will be converting from race to street duty. Replacing the 72 to 87 Eheads, and Lunati Chevy style lifters to Pontiac crower or Bam.

Those are made by the same people who made PPRs Lazer solid roller lifters. I bought a pair years ago trying to fix a situation, still have them and they look exactly the same.

These were possibly designed for "race only " duty.. I think I'd sleep better with either the Crower or BAM

Crower and BAM are my 2 lifters of choice also. I have a set of BAMs on the shelf and they are nice. They look like a high end Crane race lifter you can not get anymore. I understand they are the same bodies but use the DLC coated steel bushings.
Drag Week guys luv them.
