Morel lifters? Where do you buy them AND what is there web site? Searched for about 15 min and all I could find was everybody says you should buy them and leaves it at that. Any info would be great. Thanks
I bought mine from Futral, all other sponsors were out of the Hyd Roller ones at the time, all they had were Solids. I havent run my new engine yet, still sitting waiting for me to get the time, motivation and oh thats right, the Ported/Coated Oil Pump Chris G. from Nonsponsor (APE Rape you for more!) was supposedly sending out.... Anyway, contact FMS.

Only the Morel "Race-Hydraulics" require adjustable rockers.
I prefer .025"-.030" preload cold but that's me...

Morel has no website. Yes I know Ed Morel but not the contact. I do have alot of first hand knowledge of the lifter and it is worth power over others. Morel is strictly a mfg and they don't advertise nor market their product. Companies and professional race teams come to them for answers for lifter problems and they design, build, test, and produce here in the USA.

Just a quick question 'cause I don't understand the deal what is different about them? Are they variable duration, like a Rhodes lifter for the old SBC? Because I read in one of the rags out there (car mags) that they got one for the LS1's now. Worth lookin into.

good info.
You got them from Chris? You bastard!
gotta spread it 'round =)Anyway I need a Ford EFI throttle body (prefer 90 MM) to fit a Wilson 90* Elbow *hint hint*
Also you'd be surprised at how many people outsource on a lot of products. Ed forgot one key point about the lifters though...

Does this practice make the company less viable? Hell no! Makes them smart business people. They buy what they feel is best for their customers. Can't argue with that...
/off topic a bit...
Do you think (* insert sponsor here *) manufactures their own valve springs that they list in their inventory??? No way, yet many forum people "tout" their attributes because they come from a sponsor. I wonder if a "non-sponsor" spoke highly about any new product, if it would be held to the same "internet standards" as the exact same item being sold by a "sponsor"???
Anyway.... At least (as mentioned) they're made in the USA!
