RE:thanks, but what I was asking..

Thanks Gerald, yes, I'm aware that the shell lifters work fine. And that they were part of a "Rev Kit" Ford offered for the 427FE because they're lighter than the standard dumbells. And I've asked before about preferences and received a lot of good advice.

But what I really want to know is...

Would the shell lifters be a good choice to use if you want to run a solid lifter cam in a hydraulic FE engine? Not because they're lighter, etc. But because you don't want to or can't do the proper conversion of blocking off the oil passage to the hydraulic lifter bores. Would the Shell lifters block oil flow? Which I know is a good thing when running a solid lifter cam.

Anyone?

This thread, so far...
