There are many different lifters that Morel does with other companies in part or whole and there are some different wheels they use. Isky has a Redzone solid roller lifter and a regular solid roller lifter. The Redzone is the one for much higher pressures and has a captive tiebar. The regular LS1 drop-in Morels can spin in the plasic lifter bores if they are melted or get older. The customer in question wanted the most fail safe lifter possible and that is what is on the way.

I have probably the best price on the Morels also so PM me if you want a price on the regular Morels as well.

Jesel makes the lightest lifter we have found for the LS engine. They are very durable but kinda pricey.

I would definately choose to run the jesels if the ones I have were the right size and had the proper oiling restriction. $1600 for block bushing is just not in the cards right now when I can just offload mine and get a set that will work with the stock lifter bore.

DAPSUPRSLO,


I have a set of Jesels like BTL FED has there if you are interested since the owner was looking to go link bar and not use the GM plastic lifter trays like those Jesels do.

Pm me a price Erik, assuming they are .842" diameter and have the restrictor for proper oiling? Maybe you'd be interested in a trade for the ones I have now. Thanks.
