Anyone have a source that can do better than this? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
For what size/year engine?

That's still pretty high, but they're an oddball length and they have a deep groove ground around the center for oil flow between lifter bores. There's probably not enough sales volume of lifters for a 50+ year old engine design to bring the price down.

Is it a 1958 automobile 235?
A 1958 truck 235 could have hydraulic lifters that were put in in after delivery.
