Having the '67 400 ci engine rebuilt and the builder is having a problem finding .921 lifters, hydraulic flat tappet. His source is back-ordered and has been for about 3 months. All of my research has turned up "Not Available" even though the online site lists them as being carried by them.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, I will send it on to the builder.

Both falconglobal and fastengineparts on eBay are selling them.
They are listed for Olds 394 engines, but they are the same VL59 lifters.

Yes, they *should* be the same. The 394 lifters did not have the oil hole in the center where the pushrod seats, the 400s need the hole. So the 400 lifters can be used in the 394s, but not the other way around. Make sure you get ones the hole there.

I had an old NOS set of Sealed Power HT-957 lifters that came with a bunch of '62 394 parts I bought. They had the oil hole in the pushrod cup. I believe the .921" lifters for earlier Olds V8 engines which did not have the oil hole had a different part number.

Egge machine has them

You may need a nostril stretcher though...

I checked both Kanter and Egge. I'll probably go with the Kanter lifters as they are about $50 less. Thanks for all the replies.
