Marv,
Do you know the diameter of a stock SBC lifter? I'm wondering how close they are to LS lifters. I'd be curious to know also how the oil galleys look in comparision. If one could find a way to use a Hyd LS lifter, the CTS-V or LS7 lifter has been shown to work all they way up to 8,200rpm in the 24 hour CTS-V races. Obviously you need to be creative for oil control.
I know we have discussed Hyd lifters and their limints before, but I know from experience that the LS lifter works past 6,500. Even a bone stock LS1 lifter from 98-02. I had a set in my old motor spinning to 7,400. Even made a few dyno pulls to 7,800 with it.
