First (ha!) mistake was tossing the box that my lifters came in. It was a cam/lifter "kit" and I reached out TWICE to ask what lifters came in the "kit". Comp shows two different sets, one is a "short stroke" but in both inquiries I was told "853-16". I ordered a 853-2 to replace the goobered one. Guess what, those are much different. Pushrods will be longer and the lands and oil hole are located differently. There's some confusion on what lifters are correct but it'll have to wait until Monday... Ugh! I do have some exhaust to work on and a carb spacer to tap for hose barbs. I'll get this... Happy Thanksgiving!!
