Default I have a couple questions about ls1 lifter trays or retainers

I just bought a forged short block and it didn't come with the lifter retainers or trays. can some one post a picture of what I need and where I can get them and possibly a part#? Are the lifter trays the same thing as the lifter guides that sdpc sells? is there any thing else needed? Sorry but this is my first ls1 build.

TSP sells some GM lifters (part number 28-12499225).

I recommend drilling a small hole in the bottom of the plastic lifter trays as well, to help with oil drainback. A lot of oil gets caught up in the top of these motors.

You can just get them at the stealership if you need them quick.
