Default Anyone running Morel 5315 lifters?

Just wondering if the Morel 5315's are ok to run in an LT1? Seems like these would be a slight upgrade over the LS7's.

http://www.coloradospeed.com/morel-h...3-p-32269.html

I have a new set of LS7's that came with my AI cam kit but I am a little paranoid about putting them in. I am guessing they would probably be ok but I would rather spend $200 and have a lesser chance of not have to tear my motor apart again.

Any thoughts or opinions?

I heard that morel lifters are actually made by lunati, and if you get them under the lunati brand packaging, they're cheaper.

Cool, I'll plan on ordering a set. $200 is pretty cheap for a piece of mind.

Just want to verify, will these work for sure in an LTX?

Also, and suggestions on preload for the Morel's?

CoSpeed replied to my email and asked that funds sent via PayPal and as a gift/ Family Friends. Is this how everyone is paying when it comes to sending the PayPal funds? I am not comfortable with this route and would gladly pay the PayPal fee. Just wondering before I purchase.

Yes. It's normal. If you want to send the extra money for the fees no one will complain though, usually.

I bought 2 sets a little while back from COspeed and a fast intake several years ago and paid via PayPal gift. They are good people nothing to worry about.

Cospeed are good people, super great customer service... Fast shipping and good prices. Ordered some goodies from them that shipped that day, as we'll have great customer service. Nothing to worry about with those guys.

How do these morel 5315's compare with the comp 875's? Are they the exact same dimensions?
