Solid roller lifters

dartlove said

In search of others thoughts on lifters.
As my big block build progresses I am now in a search mode for the proper lifters to go with this. As said in the past,
383/496 molnar crank 4.25 stroke, 6.535 rods, Trick flow 270's , indy intake
Roller cam custom grind. Any HELPFUL tips or advise welcome.

I went with the bushed, Indy Redzone's. They were not cheap at over $1200 for the set, but there are none better. Street use with longer idle and low rpm use are hard on them. Cam selection with gentler ramps helps too.

Pressurized axle oiling on the solid bushing at least gives them a fighting chance to survive. Any bushing wear will show up at lash checks where needle bearings give you virtually no warning and then go away.
