Re: Lifters
Unless converted, they are solid lifters.
intake and exhaust specs are all you need, IIRC, intake is 006 and exhaust is .014, but verify with your manual. That's warm specs, I do my 235 warmed up for 30 minutes and with the engine running. |

Re: Lifters
Mine were hydraulic. I don't think they were changed from Solids.

Re: Lifters
Interesting. I recall my MoToRs manual only having mention of hydraulic lifters in the Vette L6 engines. Not that MoToRs is a Chevy bible, but you may have a Vette engine in your truck.

Yes, but you have to remember that back in the 50's the factory wasn't looking at performance for any engine type, let alone the inline 6s. Hyd lifters were a convienence, solids were (still are) a PIA...the hyd afforded the owner the luxury of just enjoying the drive, almost maintence free. |
