So I know you have to use a solid lifter for this ..is the easiest way gutting a stock one and putting a spacer in I also heard of using a nickel with a hole punched on it and put it on the lifter ? Or is there any 5.0 car that came with solid lifters that I can go borrow one from pick n pull,? Thanks for the help..

No offense but who told u u have to check piston to valve clearance with a solid lifter. Never heard that one before. Use what your planning on runing then check it with playdo or clay.

Use a stock lifter that's been gutted (no spring).

You will have to file the plunger down to get the lock back on and this will be the 20 thou for preload.

i don't think he is converting them to solid lifters for full time use. he just needs them to check a couple of things out on his engine.
