Lifter ? sbc Hydraulic/stocker

danny waters sr · 10-23-2011, 10:57 PM

As i cannot afford the schubec (spelling?) hyd lifter or any of the other "trick" lifters, what would be a decent lifter for my 283 stocker engine ,399 lift spec cam ?
Had a comp cam lifter come apart on me this weekend and luckily i did not hurt anything..
These lifters are pretty old and a good amount of runs on them, but when freshened engine everything checked and looked good .Guess they are old and weak.( and now broke).....Thanks in advance.......

Danny,

I bought a set of the 91112 Howard's hydraulic lifters from Competition Specialties. From the catalog.....

The Max Effort high output lifters were designed specifically for higher revving applications. Perfect for race applications which require a hydraulic lifter or high performance street applications that need an extra edge. These lifters can show a noticeable increase of power from 5,000 rpm and up. Important: pre-load must be set at .002 -.004 (warm) to achieve performance levels.

I really haven't had a good opportunity to test these claims, but Howard's has a good reputation.

Same here... curious is to what you have to do on break-in on lifters/cam without using schubecks... remove inner springs? I hope when the time comes, i can get some schubecks... whats the difference between CHev and Pontiacs? is it just the Oil band? And will the stocker cam survive without schubecks and how much spring pressure will have to be sacrificed? thanks...Brent
