Solid lifters on a LT-5 was tried by Lane Goldstein some years ago. He went back to hyd because adjusting them required removal of the cams which changed the adjustment as you put them back. Getting good chains was a real exercise in spending money. Since he went with 1 in deck plate the chaines had to be longer and he spent a lot of money because the supliers could not get it right. His 431 ci motor put out about 950+- HP. Best time was 8.9 or so. With the exception of maybe Rod no one else has taken the LT-5 to the real edge.
