They were used at least as far back as 1950 in Powerglide-equipped Chevy passenger cars (235 engine). All 216 engines had mechanical (solid) lifters.
All USA truck 216/235/261 engines had mechanical (solid) lifters, so give your cousin a way out, to save face.
What is your engine serial number? | | |
