a lot of folks say use engle lifters with engle cams, scat lifters with scat cams, cb lifters with cb cams, etc, etc.... with that being said, i have used the scat lube-a-lobes with engle cams in a couple of engines without issue so far, however if you go that route call scatvw and talk to ron to make sure you get the right ones, i cant remember the part numbers but they have 2 different sets of the lube-a-lobes, one is lighter than the other and will not last as long of course the cb 2 piece lightweights get pretty good reviews on the samba but ive never used any myself and of course if money permits the udo becker tool steel lifters come highly recommended from a lot of folks |

I have had good luck out of the SLR treated scat lifters as well as the CB 2 piece. The Engles are a nice piece as well. No matter what,make sure your lifter bores are TIGHT or nothing will last.The FK-8 is a great cam,but I would have it ground on a different lobe center. |

yea you see, i have a good friend that likes to experiment. I really like the way his motor ran. so I figure why not, thats what i put in mine. Now that i have that cam, and you are gonna get that cam, you watch, i heard him talk that hes gonna go with the FK10.

what kind of case are you using? If you are using a stock case, make sure there is room for the lifters when its on high lobe. the one case i had, i had to have jim cut the top of the lifter boards down to make room for a bigger cam. |
