Guys, don't make this so hard, ALL LS based based engines use the same lifters. LS1, LS2, LS3 LS9 LSA, trucks engines.
The LS9, LS7 and LS3 rev past 6k stock so I am not sure where you got your info but it is not correct. Just go to the dealer and order lifters for your car whether its an LS1, LS2 or whatever.

You are correct that they all use the same lifters. However, my 98 ls1 didn't come with ls7 lifters. But, if you go to the dealer now, they will give me the same lifters for an ls1 as they would for any ls motor. The lifters they will give you are originally the ls7 lifter design, not the 98 lifter design that came in my car.... I don't know about you, but the ls7 was the first car GM released with an LS motor that spins to 7k. Hence the 7k rating....
Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

Just look in the GMPP catalog and buy the set of 16 listed....it specifically says "same lifter used in LS7"
It is cheaper buying a set of 16 then buying 3 LS7 lifters separately.

I have to second this. I have heard a suprising amount times of the Caddy lifters failing, from members of this board as well as the others.
