		| Any experience with Rhoades Lifters? |

		This is partially FE related. I have FE cars but I also have a Boss 429 which I need advise on. I am changing a bad cam and lifters and discovered that Crower sent lifters for a 429/460 and the Boss engine uses FE lifters (discovered too late also). I have to get this engine together and running by Monday for Cruisin the Coast on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, so I have to work on it tommorrow. My dilema is that I have a set of standard FE lifters and a set of Rhoades FE lifters in my spare parts. I would love to use this opportunity to use the Rhoades lifters since the cam has a lift of 572/586 but are they too noisy? I have never heard an engine with them and, well lets face it, with a modified Boss 9, I can stand a good solid lifter sound. I just dont want a sound that is sloppy. I can use the standard lifters if any of you guys have had a bad experience with Rhoades. I just have to do it in the morning, one way or the other. Thanks, R.C.
