What other lifters?

Crower also has zero stock of their 66050 lifters, and (just like the cams) offer zero information on if/when they will get any in.

Had a look at comp cams; also seeing a long leadtime on those lifters specific to the 215.

Will stock LandRover lifters work with a 50232 or give up well before it starts making good power?

Looks like TA Performance has a pricey set of Delphi Lifters at $280 or a set of Johnson lifters at $125 - but they are in stock at least!!!


Edit - I called the very helpful guys at TA performance and they told me the Johnson lifters will easily do 6500 RPM redline. So I bought a set. 👍

Dave, Buick 350 stock replacement lifters work fine. At most auto parts stores. I have heard the Johnsons are high quality and better than Morel's.

Thanks Jim, I purchased the Johnsons. No idea what's going on at Crower, but they seem to have very little in stock - I read on another forum that folks have been waiting 5 months for Ford Duratec cams... But they still keep taking folks money. Hell of a business model!!!!
