You can source them from salvage yard V6 engines...very cheap. Used lifters are fine so long as the they were properly oiled throughout their life and the roller surface isn't marred. I found mine on Ebay, a set of new lifters for $50, and I had to buy four more new ones locally which was more per lifter. If you bought all 16 new at a local parts store you'll pay over $200 for just the lifters. I have leftover retainers and the hold down spider bar if you get to needing them, let me know. They make roller cams specifically for retrofit applications now so they have the flat nose as opposed to the later model step nose. For this reason all you need is a cam button to keep the cam from walking. As far as I know, it's not feasible to machine the front of the block to accept a late model retainer plate for step nose cams and timing sets. I don't even know if it would all line up right mixing and matching. I got a two piece timing cover that has a removable cam plate and integrated cam button. Very handy. |
