small block LA Mechanical Solid Lifters recommended

Jax · Mar 12, 2016

I am looking to buy the best recommended solid lifter for my application.

The cam is a hughses grind with .600 lift. Heads are equipped with pac springs. I am looking to buy solid lifters no oil trough and that have the small orifice to supply lubrication to the cam lobe... What brand and part number do you recommend me.

Thanks

I think this is what you need, 78 grams a piece, reasonable price - 225$/set, .012" edm hole...

I'm in the same boat, but i need solid lifters for pushrod oiling

I have a used set of what you want in a lifter. I had them resurfaced. PM me if you are interested.

But these are oil trough..... I want to use non-trough oiling to avoid any oil leakage between the lifter cup and the pushrod. I am not going to use pushrod oling.

A pushrod without the oil hole will stop the oil flow there.

My bad. I thought you were wanting PR oiling and I have a set of those.

Manton pushrods, Smith bros pushrods.
Also comp cams, trickflow etc. etc.
If it's made of chromoly ( at least .080" wall thickness) it's good enough for most street/strip cars.
