And go....

I didn't read 36 posts. Mike Jones, aka Cam King & renowned cam grinder said a while back that the FT lifters are made off shore, only one company making them in the US. This week on Speed talk he said he has Chebby lifters.....for $320.
So if you are getting lifters for much less.....they are not going to be US made.
As has been said sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many times on forums like this: if you do NOT want lobe lifter/failure, have some factory lifters re-faced.
