None. I put solids on a hydraulic core, per Travato.

Well that’s relevant, no brand given etc. You really felt the need to type that for whatever reason?
Topline Hylift are good (A2347) and so are the new ones from Comp cams(85701-16).
Hope this helps.

Options are limited.....

For actual hydraulic, like mentioned there's the new comp design - when they have them in stock. Note that I've had trouble with QC on them so far. Not thrilled, but I've got a working set (our of two complete sets). Body size varies by about 1/2 thou, and a few of the capsules were assembled incorrectly. Morels can be iffy - most of the stuff under various brands are actually morel lifters.

As noted, you can run solids on a hydraulic cam. There's old stock Crane which are good, but the bodies run small. BAM makes really good stuff but don't sell direct - but you can buy through the various Pontiac performance houses.

Johnson Lifters are also a good choice.
