The 178 has a little less duration. I think the lash is 22 24 so it is a bit quieter than the 30 30. I have a 178 in my 69 L46 motor that is in my car now, and most guys have to ask if it is solid lifter.

I think the 140 recommended lash is 24 24, but can check this evening and say for certain.

I have the specs for the 178 (according to GM) in the Chevy Power book and can post them tonight. Someone probably has them handy.
