Most all high-end solid lifters have enhanced oiling. In a solid lifter setup, the lifter is actually the most crucial component. I wouldn't skimp there. I'm not saying $2800 keyway Jesels are the way to go, but look for how the lifter provides oiling in your purchasing decision. There's a reason the Morel solids are cheaper than everything else right now in the LS1-specific solid roller world. It's still a fine lifter, but there are other options out there. You should look into the Crowers or Jesel's Dog Bone.

The Crowers don't cost a fortune and the HIPPO option makes them good for the street.

But, Jesel offers a "dog bone style" lifter which uses a metal lifter tray similar the LS1; it doesn't use a tie rod (for weight savings) or any of that. Jesel offers LS1-specific dog bone lifters with enhanced oiling. You'll need some machining done to the block to accommodate a .937" lifter bore (which I would recommend) with an .850" roller.

 

I currently use the crower high press pin oiling in my solid 427 and have had no problems!

 

Keep in mind guys, I'm not going solid, its a hydraulic setup.

 

The hydraulic Morels are great. The solids don't provide pressure oiling, so they aren't fantastic for any sort of street driving at low RPMs because the lifter can overheat if you don't sit there revving the engine.

Another decent solid lifter for the street and less aggressive lobes is the Comp 888 Endure-X.

 

To add to the fact that its a hydraulic setup, its a stictly drag car, no street use.

 

As long as you aren't going over .675" lift, the Morels will work fine.

BTW, if it's strictly a drag car, then solid roller would work better -- allow for higher RPMs while freeing up horsepower.

 

Yes, but I don't want to mess with the valve lash every 2-3 passes. Our car's engine bay isn't necessarily roomy.
