Which lifters? I was going to go with ls7's but i will need to order new push rods and since mine are pretty much brand new i dont really want to do that... is there any lifters out there that can be used with the 7.400 push rods???

i have been reading up on them and everyone is saying the cup is either higher or lower i can remember, so in turn i will either need longer or shorter push rods...

The 7.4's should be fine with the LS7 lifters. The LS7's are said to be slightly taller than the LS1 lifters, but I don't remember how much. With that cam grind some people will run 7.425" pushrods to compensate for the reduction in the base circle, so the lifters being a bit taller should work out good.

^^^^ 5.3 is right on that one. You dont buy lifters to fit your pushrods. Brad new/near new pushrods are worth something. You sell yours to offset the cost of new ones if you need them. I still recommend measuring.
