Used lifters okay?

I can get a set with less than 20k cheap. I have 80k on mine and one is tapping. Can't figure out which one though.

I wouldn't do it. I dont trust any used engine parts. There are too many things that could have happened to them.

www.summitracing.com has great prices and they ship very fast. I would get the Comp Cam lifters. I think they are around $180.

I just got a set of Crane Cams rollers from Jegs.com took the part number from thunderracing.com and cross referenced it and found Jegs was cheaper by a few bucks for that brand lifter..

part number 270-10530-16 at jegs.. the year applicable is wrong but it is the right lifter.. $169.99 for the set.

I was dumb enough to re-use my stock lifters when I did my cam install, and I suffered from very low vacuum pressure after the cam as a result. I went back and installed Comp Cams Pro Magnum Lifters, which are less than $20 more than stock OEM lifters, for a replacement. Car runs good now with great vacuum and no loss of power at Upper RPMs anymore.
