Rocketeers, a lifter question.

Will 49-51 303 lifters fit a 54-56 324?
They look like the exact same thing, am I overlooking something?

 

what's the matter,won't they go in? did you clean out the lifter bores real good? the diameter is the same .842" until at least 1956.1957 and later had .921"

 

Jeff---you got an e mail.

 

I was overlooking something! Actually I learned something.
49-51 uses a 1/4" pushrod later motors use a 5/16" pushrod.
Those early lifter are only good to about 4800 rpm.
There's a set on Ebay I was watching but I'm not going to buy them now.
Thanks DON!

 

i saw them on there too,and wondered what the difference was.i figured there had to be something since all the parts books listed them different.thanks for sharing guys!
