The LS7 lifters are supposedly an improved version of the stockers, and only like $99 for the set. The Caddy lifters are improved for better oiling and higher RPMS. THey run $220 or so.

Morels and Crane are machined from bar stock, the OEMS are castings. Tolerances on the Morels are much tighter. Morels roller is from 8620 and axle from 9310 tool steel. Morels are fully rebuildable.
