The HT-2236 require shims, they are shorter than the stock GM ones, although they can "fit" they don't.

Are you certain? The INA lifter on the left is almost definitely aftermarket, and looks similar to the lightweight buckets I am running in the 427. The height difference is solved in my case with +1mm longer valve stems.

Weigh them up... you'll find the oem piece around 75g, and the INA one considerably less, depending on which design.

Will your lightweight lifters work with stock valves?

Probably not, unless you do a valve job and sink the valves, or use shims (lash caps) on the tips.

Those are the lifters that were in the heads, and also the only ones that worked with the valves....

Not drilling for oil...or antifreeze?? What fun is that???

I'd be tempted to open it up at the bottom, just a tad, which can be done w/o significant danger of punching through. (I'd tell ya, but Marc would have to kill me!) How some ever, proof is in the pudding/dyno/trap time, as it were.

Question: Did you have to have the IH's built up as well? I assume so, if the IHs were port matched to the "before" heads. Or, did you just buy the heads with intention of using some other IHs? Are the IHs siamesed as well?

It will be interesting to see the results! Is there another 500+ hp FBI Z in the making?
