Solid Lifters
By Royce Peterson - 10/07/2001 9:00:53 AM; IP 64.12.104.51
There are actually three basic versions of FE solid lifters available. They are:

1. Shell type - Original equipment in the 1958 FE engines. They are the lightest FE lifter and pushrod geometry is favorable compared to other types because the pushrod rides in the bottom of the lifter. Requires longer special order pushrods.

2. Waisted type - A solid piece of machined steel, it is made the same height as a pumped up hydraulic lifter. The center is machined away to lighten it somewhat but it is still the heaviest type of FE lifter. Used in factory and aftermarket FE applications.

3. Empty hydraulic type - Isky came up with this idea, they leave the guts out of a hydraulic lifter and machine a thicker top piece to give it the same height as a pumped hydraulic lifter. It is lighter than the waisted type and uses stock length pushrods.
