The stock 235 lifter size is around .990! Most of the time when you correct the lifter bores in a SBC with the BHJ Lifter-Tru plate, you obviously go to a larger diameter to correct the angles and centerlines of the lifter bores.Then you install brass bushings into the oversized bores to retain the SBC .842 lifter size. Also using a .875 Ford lifter in a SBC is also a popular mod as well.You will need to bore to over 1"(depending on bushing OD), and then bush it back to .904. Compare a set of new SBC roller lifters to a new set of Chrysler roller lifters! Chevy is still less expensive. It still opens the door to make any number of lifter size selections you choose.
