I am past this, though, if you're interested in letting those lifters go, and they're ALL 1.750", I might be interested.

It seems that there are two lengths of the common hollow-bodied ford cam followers. Early seem to be 1.720" and late seem to be 1.750". I'm not exactly sure where in production the change occurred.
