The 245-Six that Packard sold to White for use in the 3014 cab-over truck used used mechanical lifters.

So far as I know, other than finding used ones in an extra engine or the the occasional offer on eBay (which may be Kanter's and not NOS), Kanters is the only source. These lifters, made by Wilcox-Rich, were similar to but not interchangeable with the ones used by Cadillac in the same era. As Ross and other have previously commented on this topic, lots of Kanter's lifters in use with good results.
