SBI lifters?

[JuststrokeIT]

Does anyone use these or know much about them or are they just a repackageing of OEM parts at a cheaper price?

I'm using EngineTech lifters in mine, I'm a tech at ford and my cost for OEM was $570 after tax.

I am also on the lifter hunt. That was the price I was quoted at the Ford counter also. Has anyone tried IH to see their price?

Ford sells the lifter guide plus four lifters under one part number ... 8C3Z-6C329-B

Can be found for $50-60 per set, you'll need four sets.
Much cheaper than buying lifters individually.
I was surprised when I saw them listed for $600+

Elite has a set of 16 lifters on their website for $250.
Not sure if they are oem, there is no part number listed.

Check Sunrise Ford as well.

I just installed the Elite lifters in a 6.0 build. Dont remember the box but sbi rings a bell to me.

I believe elite uses a Mahle lifter

The ones from elite are the SBI's thats where I got mine from just have never heard of them. But at 250 vs the 500+ everywhere else I saw no reason not to order them up from elite

SBI part # VL114

Sealed Power part # HT2104

Clevite part # H2201

They all seem to be about the same price incl. the Ford ones when sold in the 4 pack (8C3Z-6C329-B - $53 from Sunrise)

The only way I could come up with a total price near $600 is if they are purchased individually from Ford.
