Default Stock Replacement Lifters

I think I have a bad lifter but havent pulled the heads yet so I dont know. Just trying to get some info about lifters first. Does anyone make a stock replacement (comp,lunati,etc) so I dont have to change my CM 7.4 pushrods or anything else.

Seems the most popular option is to go with a set of LS7 lifters

Do not go with LS7 lifters, they are junk. Go with stock LS1 replacements, cheaper and better and lighter

LS7 lifters are stock replacements if you order new lifters from GM for a LS1 you'll get LS7's.

Another option i was looking at are the Brian Tooley lifters, a little more than the LS7's, but machined with more QC than mass produced LS7 lifters.

Next time my heads are off I'm either getting the Brian Tooley or Morel's. I VERY rarely hear about Morel failures but you pay a premium.
