More great advice from the guy who RTV'd his engine to death.



Take a look at the lifter spacing on SBCs versus LSx and ask yourself if a link-bar lifter would interchange.

To the OP: no.

The ls7 lifter is supposed to be a direct replacement for 1987 and up, so in this case the link bar makes the swap s no go?

The LS7 lifter is a direct replacement but uses factory trays, which already has the correct bore spacing. With the link-bar or tie-bar, the bar establishes the correct bore spacing for the lifter pair.

Don't have both pair of solids readily available but here's some Hyd's. SBC on the left, LSx on the right.

really think you need to learn the differences between old school 1st / 2nd gen V8s & the LS family.

He's learning it the expensive way, trial and error. Some prefer this to reading books for reasons I may never understand.
