Without knowing the specs on your setup or how much you want to spend I'de say the LS7's for $100, or the gmpp caddy lifters for $220.

Old school SBC, LT1, LS1, etc. the lifters are interchangeable. That why you see SBC's, LT1's and LS1's with Comp R lifters in them.

I bought some LS2 lifters and the guy who did my install said the wouldnt work. Does anyone know of LS7 lifters being used on a LT1?

Yes, the Caddy lifters are a pretty big hit right now for the LT1's and LS1's

i know they use the same bore size but arent they a different length? I know you should always measure PR length so it doesnt matter just curious. I will be running Morel link-bars for what its worth
