Without knowing the specs on your setup or how much you want to spend I'de say the LS7's for $100, or the gmpp caddy lifters for $220.

Old school SBC, LT1, LS1, etc. the lifters are interchangeable. That why you see SBC's, LT1's and LS1's with Comp R lifters in them.

Yes, the Caddy lifters are a pretty big hit right now for the LT1's and LS1's
