I can’t remember which it is, it’s been a few years since I decided to see if Chevy ones would fit. I would just use the Sherman lifters. If you really want to use ceramics I have a used set. I quit using ceramics years ago.

I can ask them about that. I'm sure they can move the oil band if needed. They can probably make them taller, too. The price is reasonable enough that the upcharge would probably be as affordable as most anything custom.
