Sbm x block

So help me visualize this...I'm thinking the guy who was talking about the link bar position was saying they make lifters with link bars that are on the valley side of the lifter and not on the cylinder side of the lifter. I thought that's what he was saying.

If that's correct, then I know of no lifter that fits the 59 degree lifter bank angle blocks (any version from Pcar to R blocks) with link bars facing the valley. If the link bars face the valley the push rods will hit them.

The only lifters with link bars that face the lifter valley are R blocks with the 48 degree lifter bank angle.


If that's not what we are discussing, then please clue me in. It's not like I don't get out in the weeds on a regular basis.
Comp cams, here's a pic of my block with lifters in there.
