Title: Hyd Roller Lifters ?
Post by: Dogcharmer on December 19, 2005, 05:44:54 PM
Are the 3.8 and 5.0 hyd roller lifters the same?

I was at the wrecking yards lookin around and found a 3.8 with the manifold off and was able to pry the spider up and grab one. In case you're wondering why I need one lifter it's because I need to take it apart and make it a solid roller lifter to check piston/valve clearance.

If it's not the same, I'll have to go back out and pull an intake off a 5.0 engine to get a 5.0 lifter. No biggie, but it sure would be nice to find out that the 3.8 lifter was the same...
