Those are V8 lifters. The one you need is 410845 & more like this.

EDIT: Assume this is a picture of one of the repros off Max's site.

NOS 327/359 lifters have been nearly NLA for quite some time, but Kanters has had them reproduced fairly recently. I have no personal experience with the Kanter lifters, but I do know they've sold quite a few. Ross Miller might be a good person to ask about them.

MMMMkkk, thanks. that is one crazy looking lifter. I saw that Kanters gets like $275 for the set, that isn't so terrible. BTW here's a pic of the car finally. As is, 2010. looks pretty decent still for 1953 Laquer.

I just installed a set in the Balboa's 327. Fired it for the first time this evening, as a matter of fact. After about 3 minutes of clatter all was quiet on the western front. Big smiles in Parkton this evening.

I used to painstakingly clean those darn lifters and pressure test them with a rig I built, but more often than I care to recall would still have one tap at a hot slow idle. The $275 seems quite the bargain.

Interesting factoid about those lifters: if you have an engine with a valve stuck down and ram it open with the starter or even by hand, that lifter will be ruined. That's because the barrels of those lifters are quite thin and will actually expand from the hydraulic pressure within as it attempts to lift the stuck valve. Sometimes it expands enough that its hard to get the lifter to come out of the tappet. That's a dead giveaway as to its health. Once the barrel is big it will never hold quiet at an idle--on a running engine look for a stream of oil coming around the top of the lifter. That's another giveaway.

Ozstatman, you bet. Just had to transfer the pics off my phone.

Ross, thanks for the re-assurance on the lifters. To date, I had heard from no one who had actually used the repros from kanter. Sounds like the smart money to just put them in. I think I'm going to replace that one valve, lifter, and check the rest for guide wear, lap them and run with it.

Might be a few good ones in there but if they fit back to 40, then may be for the 356.

Those lifters went for $67. I'd sleep a helluva lot better at night knowing I put new ones in, for the $200 difference and all the headache of removing bad ones again.
