Default In the middle of a H/C swap and I find this ****!

So to add insult to injury first the last lifter falls in the oil pan, no problem since I wanted to put some poly motor mounts. Now since I have to raise the motor and take the oil pan down, might as well put some katech rod bolts? what do you guys think?

Well as I look over to see the lifter trays and the lifters I see that they look different! Now mind you I bought this car with only 26k miles!
What do you guys think? they have no marking on them so I cant see what kind they might be.
Take a look and tell me what you think....

LOL yes!

WHen I got the car IT was IMMACULATE, even the under side no dirt or mud!

everything was stock, even the airlid, I did a carfax and nothing, an old lady had it for 9k miles and a guy had it for about 15k miles.

Get this when Mike at straightline was tuning it with a HOTCAM only I put down 393rwhp and 348lbp at 6k rpm with magnaflow CB, pace headers, lid, for my mods and videos check my fquick. This is weird! LOL

Looks like a combination of the old style stock LS1 lifters and new style LS1/2/3/7, etc replacement. The stock lifters that came out of my '03 were the 'unshrouded' roller type in the picture. The new stock replacements, i.e. LS7's, are the 'shrouded' roller type.

I know it doesn't 'look' good, but it shouldn't be an issue.

Weird. Maybe GM was getting rid of some old stock? It won't cause any problems though, just a newer design.
