Keith, not sure where you got "lifter base radius". What I said was:

that tiny bit of difference in the radius of the pushrod cup


The early Mopars, AMC and Packard V8s all used a 1/4" diameter ball end on the pushrods. In the late '50s Mopar changed to a 5/16" diameter end. That slight bit of difference means the older lifters cost 5X as much to buy because the production is so low these days.
