Lloyd said they were actually lighter than an OE type with the dogbone as well, so my concerns of adding weight to the valve train were misplaced.
He also said link bars are really beneficial in not allowing the lifter to rotate at all, where the dogbones will let them rotate ever so slightly especially with an aggressive lobe.

Valve side weight is many times more important then lobe side - run the thickest PRs and most reliable lifters you can afford. Any weight savings there are just a bonus.

Just wanted to bump this... it looks like the cheaper hydraulic roller "morel" lifters with the cast body are being manufactured OVERSEAS and should not be confused with the billet body lifters i listed on the previous page that morel manufactures in house. That's not to say they do or don't perform in-house QC on them, but it's important to point out with all of the private labeling going on, morel does not always equal "Made in USA"
