Crane also has a new lifter out that is very strong, but I believe cost less than the Morels. It to was designed for the offshore boat market where the valve train is beat hard for extended periods of time. I believe they have two ls1 lifters, so if you look into it make sure you are looking at the right one. The price should be a tip off.

With less than 40,000 on your car I would reuse the stockers, If your gonna loose sleep over it grab a set of LS7 lifters for 110-120 shipped to your door...

The rod bolts or rear end will probably go out before your 38,000 mile lifters cause the valvetrain to fail....

I ordered some LS7's yesterday.
On the rod bolts, you are recommending some ARP's?

Huh, haven't heard of the Johnson lifters before. I got a call from my dealer yesterday. He said that LS7's were on back order
I called SD and they had Caddy's in stock...sooooo, here they come.
