Morel lifters for LT-1 link bars or no Looking to purchase some Morel lifters for my 355 turbo motor. Which one is the most popular on the LT-1, link bar style or OEM with spider. THis is assuming it will be in a very high output app just not spinning it to the moon. Maybe 6800RPM. Thanks

Is there a reason you don't feel that LS7 lifters won't work?
Morel makes good stuff, but I just don't see a justification for their pricetag.
I saw the Morels used with linkbars 3-4 years back when I was building my first H/C LT1.
I considered it, but opted for OEM-style Comp lifters since I couldn't find any reason
to spend the extra $250+ on Morels.

When you have a wheel come off an LS7 lifter and it take out your bottom end you'll know why the Morel is used.
Are they needed in all applications ? No, but we rpms and heavy springs and big cams are a good application for them. I can get any Morel you need (usually stock 6 sets) and I also have LS7 lifters in stock as well.

Running the Morel BBC lifter in my new LT-1. Ran it in my old motor with no issues after the comps kept coming apart. Turned them 7500 in my old 396 and they never failed. I would reccomend.

That about says it all! Thanks. My builder used some off brand jobs that he likes but I do not trust and the last thing I need is to have an inferior lifter go bad. Thanks to everyone who replied. I feel good now about getting these. Will most likely purchase from CC. One more thing, are these stock length? I think the pushrods I have now are Trick Flow 7.4's
