Re: How to best modify Smith lifter?
I would want to know about what lash ramp that solid lift cam has. If you went to solid lifters, what does the cam grinder want for hot lash?

Option #2 is the way I would go.

Just out curiosity why can’t you just take the inside spring,piston and out and just install the pushrod seat and retainer that’s all that a solid lifter has.

You can. The pushrod seat (no pushrod oiling hole) bottoms on a shelf at .015". Whether or not it'll last...the jury says Boooom! And, there's plenty-o-proof to validate the jury.
