mcamarols1 already mentioned about LS7 lifter and the caddy racing lifter
if you have done a search on lifter at all you'd know those caddy lifter are probably your best choice, but why do u need to change out the lifters anyways ?
are they making funny noise and stuff ?

I just rec. a new set of the Caddy racing lifters and was surprised to find they are 6 grams heavier than a stock LS1 lifter! Apparently the Caddy lifter has all the magic in the internals??? I hope to find what oil was intended to be used with these otherwise the magic may not be there. Just My .02 cents. Carl.
