Do you think used lifters with 60K would be good? I still have another parts car with the gt-40x block. It has the E cam, lifters are still in if they look good you can have them

I would have no problem running used roller lifters with only 60K miles.

If you get the e-cam Dimebag you'll need to swap springs and retainers on your heads ftw!!!

For springs you might wanna look at the Comp Beehives, 26986-16 for a set, like $215. Single spring, and are designed to take .650 lift hydroller cams to 6,500rpm, no damper needed, and they pop right in on a 302 head. 124# seat and 284# open iirc
