If you purchase new GM lifters, they are the "LS7" lifters. Even if you buy singles (which is WAY more expensive than buying a full set), they will be the exact same lifter as what comes in the set.

Yes, new stock replacement lifters and "LS7" lifters are one in the same.

That's an interesting question to ask, given you haven't even told us the age or mileage of the engine they're in...or anything else that might yield a semi-educated guess as to their useability.
