Well the original AC delco lifter #05234890 (boxed as HL112) is 31 bucks each at rock auto. That is if u only want original stuff. That would be 500 bucks a set. I have read here that u will get the LS7 lifter in the HL112 box for LT1 lifters as they have the same desination also but part number 12499225 and only $135 set of 16.
My guess is if u insist on the LT1 lifter #05234890 your going to pay the $500 and get ripped off with LS7 lifters in a HL112 box.

Back when I worked for Harley we put ls7s in the bikes and we had more lifter failures than I knew what to do with. From what I could tell the old ls7s we used that were made in USA worked great and, the new ones made in Mexico we had nothing but problem.
