$1,000 for the Schubecks! Innovative as all beat out, though. Plus the labor of tapping and putting in the specialized guides.
Probably the wave of the future.

Jamin,
I was talking about the flat style Schubeck lifters.
$720 and they are a drop in, no machine work required.
They have been around for at least ten years.
They are in somewhat of a paradox though, the racers usually are allowed to use roller cams so they don't need them, the street guys think they are too expensive, the racing classes that only allow flat tappet cams usually outlaw composite lifters and contests like the Popular Hot Rodding Engine Masters outlawed them.
That is why you don't hear that much about them.
I can tell you that just about every NHRA Stock class record holder uses Schubeck lifters though, That should count for something!
I like hydraulic rollers but because there are no 8620 cam blanks for an FE you still have to run a billet cam therefore you still need a bronze distributor gear
I gotta come out to the valley and vist you guys (Turk, Pat yourself, and the rest of the local Gashole gang). What's going on this summer? Whatever it is can we get Turk to pay for it?
