Crane billet lifters are one of the best parts on the market. Veryvery high quality and design works much better with high spring pressure/loads and high lifts.

They are very similar in quality and design to the Morels, but one thing ive learned from people who have used them is that they like OEM amounts of pre-load (more than alot of race lifters), so they run quieter than Comp-R's or Morels etc.

Heres some details:

You can special order them from summit for $603.69

Do these have the test history of the morels?? Morels have been thrashed by pretty much anyone who competitively races a pushrod engine and everyone comes back swearing by them. I doubt I would make the switch to cranes if they lack similar history. Go with whats tried and true.

^^ real problem is that they are just about extinct right now. I'm told they get made once a year. We're having issues getting them for our engine customers where 1.5 months ago I was selling them outright.

I can get the ones without the linkbar but the link bars got real popular and now they are gone. We're still working on it.
