LS7 lifters?
Are the LS7 lifters for sure the replacements for LT1's? Also when I install them how long do I need to soak them in oil and should I use assy. lube? I'm only replacing the lifters... no cam swap.

They are definitely the OEM replacements now and will fit without a problem.

They are direct replacement no issues. I also soaked them in over night to make sure there were no air bubbles. I never had a problem.
