Thank you again... So having said that... I have A new Cam... how do I know what lifters I need? Are they all the same? I googled lifters for a 273. A bunch of different ones came up. Not looking for most expensive, but something that will work decently with what I have going? Any recommendations? What info do I need to get the right lifters?

If you are going with a hydraulic cam and those adjustable 273 rocker arms, then I would recommend using the crane adjusting studs to replace the stock screws. Grind the top of the rocker arm flat so the lock nut can seat properly on it.

Then you will need custom push rods. Get a hold of @Eddie348 and get the name and part number of the push rods that we had made for his 340 with the stock 273 rocker arms. They are very affordable, and we measured the proper length to use with a stock hydraulic cam, with the crane adjustable rockers, and hydraulic lifters... The company made them in a few days for us...

The solid lifter and hydraulic cams need different length push rods to work with the respective lifters...
