We have not tried using the Ford lifters as we have now found and have in stock good hard, Rockwell C scale 56 and better standard configuration lifters. I feel that that fewer things in the engine it is necessary to change the better. So far, as far as I know, we have not had a lifter failure with any of the lifters or cams we have supplied. I feel having the lobes of the cam tapered to match the loffset of the lifter bores over the cam obes is extremely important as it allows the proper matching of the lifter and cam lobe surface to one another and promotes lifter rotation which is certainly important to cam and lifter durability, especially when using racing spring pressures. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Nogueira <nogera@prodigy.net> To: Robert K.
