I like Morels, but they are a little expensive.

The +.300" ones are what you want. No grinding on the block to make them fit.

The Isky Red Zones are Good, but the new EndureX Comp design is good now with the oiled roller wheels and better bearings. They finally stepped up and updated the design to the modern standards.

Those do not have the taller body nor are they the endure-x series. 888-16 are the endure-x model, .842 diameter with the +.300 taller body for the late model blocks.

Ummm you better go back and do some homework, the parts have all changed so EVERYTHING is a Endure-X lifter now in the solid roller lifter line.

The 871-16, 873-16 or 888-16 Lifters all work.

Do a search for crane lifters... I know there is a certain part number that has resulted in engine failure for some.

As for the correct part number, you might want to call and ask comp which one they reccommend.

according to the compcams website all three will work but the 888-16 show for "street and marine applications" and they are a few bucks more. I think they have a groove down the body of them to help with oiling but it has been a while since I installed mine.
