Tim,

Yes, it still has the hydraulic lifters. When it runs, it sounds like a car engine. Meaning no clicking. The drawback in using a car engine is that I'll have to drill the holes for the front motor mount and have to attach the bolts from the bottom instead of how it is normally done. If I ever rebuild this engine, I'll get the front motor mount installed the normal way. For now, I just need the truck to move in and out of the garage on its own, so that I can work on it in the driveway (more space and less likelihood of welding sparks burning down my house...!) smile
