Hi Everyone,
I’m looking for solid lifter options for a GEN 2 (2001 if that makes any difference) and the choices seem to be slim, so i’m looking for two different info’s. What is available on the market, and block measurements.
Chrysler spec on the lifter body size is 0.9035 to 0.9040 per factory service manual.
Current options that I am seeing online:
Jesel Sportsman ~$2300, .905 body, presumably meant to have the block honed for a perfect fit, which doesnt make them a drop in.

Morel ~$1350. They list as .903 body which is too lose running, perhaps they offer it in .904.

Crower has discontinued their offering.
The edelbrock group (comp/ crane/ lunati) doesnt show an offering. Maybe they havent bothered to check cross compatibility with other common engines.
If you know of 0.904″ lifters from another common application with a confirmed correct oil band height for the viper block, please post the details and it will be much appreciated. If you could also please share your cam base circle and lobe lift.
Id like to get another option for solid lifters available for the gen 2 block and am working with BAM lifters. Brad has competitive pricing for needle roller, and a steel bushed / DLC coated axle upgrade option.
I would really like to get something on order without having to pull my heads, and was wondering if I could get some help from anyone who has a bare block/ short block accessible?
I am in need of the following dimensions:
Cam centerline (or cam heel + your base circle diameter) to :
– bottom of liter bore
– top of lifter bore
– Bottom of lifter oil galley
– top of lifter oil galley.
Many thanks in advance and i hope this will benefit everyone!
