Re: WOW! $969.00 for a set of lifters!
Well there you go.......$2451 for a cam and lifter set. I bet that seller's happy and took a day off of work! That camshaft is everywhere as it was available in EVERY LS-7 ever made. Hell, I've used new take-out's as wheel chucks in the driveway. Can you imagine the amount of camshaft pre-lube that will used to make sure these parts live during break-in? I'd be sweating bullets those first few minutes of operation!

[/ QUOTE ] Perhaps Mark the new owner will let us all know since I recall he is a paying member of this site. I will ask one question. If you were trying to rebuild an original ZL-1 engine with all GM parts what is this set up worth to you vs the value of the engine being completed. I think the prices being paid today for any NOS GM item is way beyond what any of us would have estimated even 5 years ago but the stashes are drying up and they are not making anymore of these items. I just wish I had of saved a lot more of what I sold for pennies in the late 80's.Back then if I didnot have 4-6 of these NOS ZL-1 GM set ups on the shelf I knew my friend would have a couple since we ran these in every L-72 and LS-6 that we raced. Today we could not produce a NOS GM solid lifter between us.So congrats to both seller and buyer

Re: WOW! $969.00 for a set of lifters!
There may be more congrats coming to this seller. He's got a pair of nice 074 heads, "unported", that would be just right for a few pure stock racers I know.
074 heads Dates are June 26 and 27 of 1973, but they look pretty good.
