the lobes are very similar to the Trex for what pewter is thinking of running.

we were thinking of Rhoads Lifters for his setup along with my LQ9 setup

I can't find the mellings lifters listed anywhere besides Futral Motorsports and as of late, their site doesn't work. Anyone else know where to get them?

Autozone sells melling replacement lifters for the lt1. I know the lifter is functionally the same as Ive used them in my motor, however is it the same exact part as the ones available from futral? The autozone ones coming out looked identical to the futral ones going back in.
