These are what Shelby Engine Company uses in their engines they send out. I was talked into them.

I forget the story on Gaterman, but it's a similar story to what quick fuel carbs used to have.....couple employees left one of the major manufacturers to do it on their own.

How much are they? 

I found a post that Blair made on the other forum about a set he had in a BBF and they seemed to not meter oil well.  He was thinking about swapping them out.

    Same lifter bore spacing on FE and 385 engines allow that. Crane , Comp, etc all list them the same way.

For another 20 bucks you can get a set of Morel's in a Howards box.

I have not bought a set in a little over a year so maybe Howards has changed suppliers, but the last 3 sets I got were definitely Morel's in a Howards box.
