Here are some more information for Ford Solid Lifters:
The Chevrolet Corvette is well regarded around the world as one of the fastest production cars made, especially when you are talking about the all new Corvette ZR1. But believe it or not, the Corvette started out as an inline six cylinder car and although it was fast for the day, it paled in comparison to the outputs of today's Vettes.
The first generation of the Corvette (C1) started in 1953 and ran all the way until 1962. During its first ten years of life, the Corvette had some significant changes to the engine and it is that first series of evolutions that has led the Corvette to be what it is today. Here is the work in progress of the C1 engine by year:
• 1953: The 1953Corvette had an inline six cylinder engine that put out 150 horsepower. This enabled the first year Vette to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about 11 seconds.
• 1954: Because the Corvette was still gaining its footing, the 1954 Corvette had the same engine that produced about the same results as the 1953 model.
• 1955: In 1955 the same six cylinders was still made available, but Chevy also came out with an eight cylinder for the Corvette. This new small block 283 ci V-8 put out 195 horsepower and did 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.7 seconds, which was a makeable improvement from the 11 second mark of the six cylinder engine.
• 1956: The 1956 Corvette saw the death of the six cylinder engine and the birth of two V-8 options that would boost horsepower to either 210 or 225. Further modifications could be made to the higher horsepower engine to boost overall output to 240 ponies. The 225 horsepower engine would clock in a 0 to 60 miles per hour time of 7.3 seconds.
• 1957: In 1957 the Corvette swayed to the ultra performance scene and offered up a larger V-8 engine. There were four possible outputs of power for the engines of 1957 and they ranged in horsepower from 220 bhp for a single four barrel carbs, 245 for a double four barrel carbs, and then 250 and 283 for the larger V-8's that were fuel injected with Chevy's new Ram Jet system. The middle of the line engine was capable of sending the 1957 Corvette from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds.
• 1958: The 1958 Corvette continued to add power and the V-8 engines available for the year were capable of putting out 230 to 290 horsepower. However, because the car was much heavier than its predecessor the 0 to 60 miles per hour time slipped back a bit to 7.6 seconds for the 250 bhp V-8 for the year.
• 1959: 1959 Came with the same options as the 1958 model as far as engines went. Depending on whether or not the car was fuel injected or powered by carbs helped determine the horsepower. 0 to 60 times remained nearly the same as the year before.
• 1960: The 1960 Corvette brought much of the same as the previous two years although the top two engines did see an increase in power of 275 bhp and 315 bhp. The bigger boost was due to the use of solid lifters and a higher compression for the fuelie 283. Once again though 0 to 60 mile per hour time slipped, this time to 8.3 seconds for the mid level engine.
• 1961: In 1961 there were still five versions of the now famous Chevy 283 ci small block V-8. Power output could be achieved at 230, 245, 270, 275, and 315 horsepower with the last two options being so well equipped thanks to fuel injection. In 1961 Chevy got it right and 0 to 60 mile per hour time again began to improve. The 8.3 second mark was achieved by the low end 230 bhp engine and the big 315 bhp engine could do it in around 6 seconds.
• 1962: in the final year of the C1 generation the engineers at GM bored and stroked the engine to give it all new displacement of 327 ci. This came in four versions that would see anywhere from 240 to 360 bhp. With everything clicking right, the last year of the C1 could pull 0 to 60 miles per hour run in 5.9 seconds.
While the numbers that the Corvette was putting out seem to be nothing in comparison to today's Vette's, they crushed the middle year Vettes that lost so much muscle thanks to Government standards. One thing is for sure though, the C1 generation of the Vette laid the foundation of everything that the Corvette engine would go on to become for better or for worse.

Ford Mustang – The First Generation Models for your Restoration Project
1964 was the banner year that Ford Motors unveiled a new breed of car at the World's Fair in New York. With the belief that a small sports car would be the next hot ticket, Ford made strides to make it one of their automobiles. Understanding that true success would come with volume sales, a two-seat design was dropped and Ford introduced the 1965 Mustang based on the Falcon with numerous options to give buyers the opportunity to customize their purchase. At the base price of $2,320, the Mustang racked up over 22,000 in sales its first day, 417,000 in the first year and surpassed the one million mark in March of 1966. The attention was now on the pony car, and is the only class of muscle car that still exists today. The Ford Mustang is the only original pony car to remain in uninterrupted production.
1964½-1965
The first Mustang model, the early 65 or 64½, available as a coupe or convertible, featured a base 170 cubic inch six-cylinder engine with a three-speed floor shift transmission. Optionally a 260 cubic inch V-8 engine in addition to a four-speed manual transmission or three-speed automatic Cruise-O-Matic transmission was available. 1965 was also the debut of the Shelby GT350 Street, a high-performance Fastback 2x2 Mustang, featuring a modified K-code 289cid V8 engine with 306 hp. Engine replacements were made and are often referred to as late 1965 models, switching out the 170 cubic inch with a 200 cubic inch version with increased horsepower. The 260 cubic inch was replaced with a 289 cubic inch with 200 hp, with an optional four-barrel solid-lifter which produced 225 hp, or the "Hi-Po" which generated 271 hp.
Indentifying an Early 1965 Mustang
An Early 1965 Mustang, or 1964½ to enthusiasts, was built between March 9th and July 31st 1964. Identifying features are a factory-equipped generator starting system and a generator charge light (later 65 models used 'Alt' light), a 170 ci V6 (U-code), a 260 V8 (F-code), or a 289 V8 (D-code) engine, large horns mounted on the frame behind the radiator, a brake light pressure switch on the master cylinder, a two-speed heater with center 'off' switch, and the front hood features angled edges that are not folded which were modified in the later 1965 models to a rolled front edge. Another difference is that the passenger seat in the early 1965 models was in a fixed position.
1966-1968
Slight moderate changes to the 1966 Mustang were to the grille and wheel covers, along with a new instrument cluster and revised side scoops featuring chrome trim and three wind-splits. 1966 was also the year that the millionth Mustang was sold. Changes to the 1967 Mustang were major going for a more muscular and aggressive look and feel. Changes include a full Fastback roofline, longer nose, triple tail lamps, a wider chassis and bigger grille. The release of the Shelby GT500 with a 428 cubic inch V-8 with 355 hp was also in 1967. 1967 was also the last year the Ford block letting appeared across the front edge of first generation Mustangs (The lettering was re-added in 1974). 1968 saw the release of the 302 cubic inch V-8 engine to replace the older "Hi-Po", with a mid-year release of the 427 cubic inch engine, along with the 428 Cobra Jet engine aimed at racing enthusiasts. Front and back side markers and shoulder belts were also added to the 1968 model in accordance with Federal regulations, and this was the first year that the rear view mirror attached to the windshield instead of the frame.
1969
Body style changes in 1969 included a longer body for a more aggressive muscle car appearance. The title Fastback was dropped and Sportsroof was adopted. A new 302 cubic inch engine with more than 220 hp was released, and a 351 cubic inch Windsor generating 250 hp with a two-barrel carburetor or 290 hp with a four-barrel. Special-Edition Mustangs available in 1969 were the Boss 302, 429, Shelby GT350, GT500 and the Mach 1, all with performance engines.
1970-1973
Changes to the 1970 Mustang were minimal with only the addition of a ram air Shaker hood scoop. The 1971 model was a foot longer than earlier Mustangs making this the biggest Mustang and heaviest by 600 pounds. The Mach 1 was the only special edition Mustang to make the cut and remain in the line-up. 1972 saw no changes to the body style, and the Sprint model, featuring red, white, and blue exterior paint and tape styling was released. In 1973, the fuel shortage and newly introduced emissions standards brought an end to the muscle car era; designers moved away from the Falcon platform and discontinued the convertible.
This is seen as the end of the first generation of Mustangs.

1996 volvo penta hydralic lifters?
marinized by volvo ....a ford 1996 5.0 efi v8... does anyone know if it has hydralic lifters or solid lifters???? the left side push rods on the valves can be pushed down a tiny bit when their valves close, i push them down like 1/10 of an inch and when let go the push rods spring back up.. feels like a small spring is beneath them. thers no free play they jus feel springy.... however the right side pushrods are all tight and wont move at all, they wont feel springy when their valves are closed.... compressio0n is good, all valves go up and down.... but obviously i have a lifter problem.... help ??? do i have hyradilc or solid? which side has the messed up lifters
These are hydraulic lifters. Did you rotate the crank to check tension? If the lifter is on the high side of the cam lobe, there will be more tension than if it isn't. If you are going to replace them, do them all, they are only about $10 each. Richard will be able to give you more info, he's the Volvo guru.
