The other thing to remember is that to change the lifters on a Gen3/Gen4 you have to pull the heads. Better add the $$ for some new head gaskets and torque to yield head bolts into the equation when you buy one of these motors.

You only need to change the lifters IF you are changing the cam/heads. The standard lifters are fine (rather large though).
I recently changed the HEADS, CAM, ROLLER ROCKERS, TIMING CHAIN and found out the hard way you also need to do the lifters (only on the DODS motors).
If you are not changing the cam I would leave the lifters as they are.
The head studs and head gaskets ( both reusable ) will set you back about $550.00) so you should change the heads while you are at it
is that called an unopened engine
