Y-Block help.

I need to give new lifters to the guy rebuilding my 292. It is .040 over.

Are these the correct lifter to buy?

Re: Y-block hotrod headers

Love those headers. Anyone know where I can get headers that will work in a 55 Customline? Rebuilt 292 going in. I've heard about Red's, but opinions vary. Thanks for any help.

Re: I'm needing some help with this one.. 55 Customline

Here are some others. You kind of have to compare. Some places sell the same thing for a lot more or less than the others.
