Retro Style Hydraulic Roller Lifters for SBC Chevy Engines

You will receive one full set of lifters, enough to complete one engine build (8 pairs). These lifters are made by Morel for many cam companies. There is no difference between the Howards label and the PBM Erson label.

The pictures below are file photos. Actual appearance may vary. BBC lifters will always have the offset tie bar, and SBC lifters will have the straight bar. At present, the lifters we have bear the actual Morel name on the tie bar.

These lifters are designed for all SBC engine blocks, whether late or early style, as well as aftermarket blocks such as Dart, World, or GM Bowtie series. The retro style refers to the fact that these will work in early-style SBC blocks that never used roller lifters. These are to be used with hydraulic roller camshafts. We have extensive experience with these lifters in our engine program.

Howards brand roller lifters are premium quality, made in the USA, and rated for up to 6,500 rpm. These are the type of lifters used in all of our street/strip engines.

Howards Cams and PBM Erson Street series retrofit hydraulic roller lifters are designed by Morel for street performance enthusiasts who want to upgrade to a hydraulic roller camshaft. They are manufactured to fit early or late model blocks, including blocks with tall lifter bosses. These use cold form technology to shape their bodies for durability. The lifters are then carbonitrided and tempered for hardness. They also feature hardened and tempered steel alloy roller wheels, heat-treated stainless steel cross bars, and high-alloy steel tie bar buttons. These street series retrofit hydraulic roller lifters are made in the USA by Morel and are specifically designed for street applications up to 6,500 rpm.
