According to the application chart, those are small block chevy lifters, unless I'm missing something...get em outta there!

Yes they fit older style small-blocks, but in this case your in luck as they are the same.........whew! Actually it's nothing new, as even small & big-blocks take the same lifters when using flat tappet hydraulic or solid lifters. It's just the wonderfull cross-compatibility of GM at work.

A little clip from Comp's description: Pro-Magnum 875-16, Chevrolet Small Block 305 & 350, Use in Blocks Originally Equipped w/ Hydraulic Roller Cam ('87 to Present and LS1).

Youve heard bad things becuase no one runs them correctly. They are made to have .002"- .006" preload, thats it!!! This means these lifters require an adjustable valvetrain.

Ive run the heck out of 875-16 in LS engines, spun well over 7000 time and time again, but I know what Im doing.

I also run Comps 850-16 in my own personal vehicle, they are the "stock replacement" style needed for LS engines. Ive even run Comps newest LS "short travel" lifter in a few engines and would have gotten those for mine, but they werent released at the time I did my swap.
