Tech Question

Ed Clemens, san antonio, TX, 1970, ply, cuda, 426hemi

Can I use Erson Hyd lifters part # E914641 in my new MP 426 Hemi block? These lifters are for the 413/426w/440 RB, according to the Erson catalog......

Ed-

They will fit and work okay. But you should know that all Hemis were factory equipped with lifters 0.0005" smaller than wedge lifters. This was done to improve high-RPM oiling, but results in less low-RPM oil pressure due to the increased internal "bleeding".

Since you said "hydraulic", I doubt that this engine will see a lot of high-rev use. So the bottom line is: use 'em.
