I've heard that the 288 was available with hydraulic lifters, but they're about as rare as forged crankshafts for Packard V8's. Consider yourself lucky, or unlucky depending on your point of view. I personally prefer hydraulic lifters, as you don't have to adjust them all the time.



I do believe my 1950 288 has hydraulic lifters, i'll go out later and see when i get home. It always ran super smooth and i never did any adjustments.

I still have dan yocum's 327 that i was going to put in, but now with both motors on the floor, i'm considering cleaning the 288 and putting it back in because i KNOW it runs great, the 327 i was just told it runs well. I believe it's a 9 main hydraulic as well.
