I would think twice about solid lifters if you plan to run this engine much. Setting the valve lash with shims as a real bitch on a DOHC engine with plane bucket style cam followers like the LT5 has. For the those who have been around engines for awhile high rpm hydraulic lifters are a gift from the engine gods.
