All of the new cams for stovebolts that I'm aware of are cast iron- - - -not forged steel like the 216 and early 235 engines ran. They require a different alloy of lifter, like Jay mentioned. Even the Melling CCS-12 which is sized for the 216 engine has a cast iron core, and it requires the later model lifter alloy.
