Brent and I just went through this for my engine. The lifters we chose, and that he is referring to, are Isky bushed solid rollers. No needle bearings. The folks at Isky claim you can even go 50k mi (I'm dubious). This build can rev to 7k+ but doesn't use a completely radical cam or spring seat pressures. Brent can give you more details on the specs, but the performance is impressive - especially for the large amount of rotating mass in an FE. I will need to check the lash once in awhile, but no big deal.
