I agree and they are also light and therefore present a performance advantage but I was pointing out the "other" option.

Perhaps one of the 944 companies would purchase a lot of lifters if they knew the supply was guaranteed to sell?

I will look at WorldPac and IMC and see what is still available and at what price. The biggest issue is that they will be INA lifters, which I have experienced about a 33% failure rate with. Many are bad right out of the packaging.

We are going to have to deal with some part shortages as time goes on. I've had pretty good luck with used lifters, and there are a lot of them out there for now, but it's not a great solution in the long run. We'll open up rules change request season in a few weeks, and have to hash out some of these issues. Anyone have any contacts at a company who makes lifters?

We learned some things at Nationals, which laid to rest some issues, and brought up a few others, which we'll bring up for discussion during this process as well. Start thinking about what you want addressed guys, but give me a little time to tie up some loose ends from this season before we head into what the AI guys call "silly season" (rules change proposal time).

Did someone mention lifters?????







Once I get them all cleaned and tested I'll offer them up for sale, at a very reasonable price to those in the class.

I know it's not a solution to the problem, only a temporary fix. As with any car this age, getting parts will become more of an issue as time goes on. Just out of curiosity, how much would a set on INA lifters cost? I know on ebay, they go for as little as $50 a set and the sky is the limit on others.

How do you test them and are you selling them?

They are all sold.

You can see how I tested them here
