Did you ship these to me? I don't remember, I apologize. I don't get on here as often as I use to.

I'm sorry, let me get this strait.

These "street" lifters cost $500+ and shouldn't be used that much at the track? If you just use it for the street... why dont' you get a street priced lifter? Doesn't seem that the price bought you anything IMO.

Be sure and check you piston to valve clearance as the Lunati's where .100 taller then the Comp lifters ( a plunger failed on one ) they replaced.
Would you not set / check that with your pushrod length calculations?

The "street" lifters are much cheaper about half price or less like 230.00 or so but they are not the same as the regular Morels at all. Totally different lifter.

The $500 set is a production assembled version of the $700 hand assemble sets I was told.

I don't get it. Why would you pay 500 bucks for lifters that aren't ment for the track, and don't go past 6500 rpms. Esp when you can use ls7 lifters for about 400 bucks cheaper and turn 7k often(ish)

I want a set of link bar lifters for about 400 max that I can turn 7k with on a regular basis.

Get in touch with Back Street Performance over in Medina ... they are friends of Ed Morel (Morels are manufactured in Cleveland). He actually just took a look at mine before we reused them in my 427 build.

Street version and High rpm lifters are two different lifters. This thread is about the street version Lunati lifters part # 72332LUN \ Morel MM5290

I bought the Morels for my Ls3 stroker because they are built better that the Ls7 lifter and I don't have to worry about a lifter turning on the lifter tray and I don't think my set up should peak past 6500/6700. Besides my car is a street car and I'll be going maybe 5-6x's to the track.

I don't see why these lifters that look better than an Ls7 lifter won't go to 7k?

Litle88 you shouldn't have any issues as long as valvetrain is good.

exactly...why would any aftermarket lifter, especially one that costs 4x as much, not do exactly what a stock lifter will do?

i understand more reliable and stable, but seriously, if i buy a lifter other than an LS7 and pay 4x as much for it, it better do 7000 RPM and everything and more an LS7 lifter will do.

^^^^I miss you^^^^

But yea I agree, I know the high RPM versions are built better and are more money. But for good reasons, they are for the hard core weekly racer turning some high RPM's.

I would stay away from the Morel street lifter. An engine builder I know used them in four or five motors and they all had wheel axles that moved out of their bores causing various degrees of damage. Its my understanding that the company doesn't track production runs and may not be sure when or who they were sold to. If you have to use them, then check the wheel axles with a drift punch in both directions to make sure that they are tight.
