lifters and pushrods you can get for about 40 bucks i think itd be a 40 bucks well spent honestly.

[JoeliusZ28]

Ive heard of guys using ls7 lifters in LT1s, those are more like $140

[TylerT/AZ28]

yikes! i thought lt1 costs would be comparable to sbc for some parts?

My lifters were $90 alone buddy!

They don't make LT1 lifters anymore. Its now LS7 lifters.

LS7 lifters are the LT1 factory replacement lifters now. If you went into a dealer and asked for lifters for an LT1 that's what they'd give you. Summit had the best price on them when I bought mine a couple years ago.

To slow Jim. 28 years haven't treated you so well. I guess for your birthday I will get you some tennis balls so you put them on your walker so it will slide

well then didnt know that but still sounds like it needs to be doe and is worth the money regardless.

i believe you may have you change out your pushrods for shorter ones, if you go to the ls7 lifter. not sure on this..

I rember reading something like that somewhere too. Definitely measure.

[Dummybait]

yeah according to some stuff on ls1 tech, the ls7 lifters are .050 taller seat comparied to LS1 stock lifters. not sure about an LT1 though...

So they replaced the LT1 lifter with a piece that doesnt work with the other hardware? That doesnt make any sense.

[Dummybait]

well like on my car, i had ls7 lifters put in and they replaced the pushrods with shorter ones. I think as a rule of thumb, lifters and pushrods are normally replaced, because of how inexpensive they are, i think i paid like 130 for the lifters and 112 for pushrods.

I should probably check pushrod wear on my rockers sometime -- when I did my cam I went with stock length hardened push rods even though I had LS7 lifters and my heads milled.

Nate i may actually have a set of trickflow 7.150 rods i didnt use (stock is 7.2 i believe). If so you can have them.

Also nate i agree that changing measurements is kinda a bum thing of them to do but look at it this way, the additional lifter height could mean a more functional lifter if there is added seat travel.
