I'm not disagreeing with anyone but I heard that the Ls7 lifter had a different part number and I was cautioned to make sure the dealership was selling me the new Ls7 lifter and not the old style Ls1.
Again, I'm not trying to argue but perhaps you should check into it further.

They also have tighter clearances plunger to lifter body, peened roller shaft retention vs a circlip.
External dimensions are the same, but........
Downside is that the pushrod length/preload needs to be checked as the pushrod cup/seat is about 0.030-0.040" deeper. Probably no big deal if the factory setup is running about mid stroke on the plunger.
