Why not a stock replacement? Thats what i'm running with mine. For some reason I thought the fms are the same as the stockers?

Why not get another one from a machine shop?

I roller lifters shouldent need any break in. just use the same oil you allways use.

130,000 miles on the stock ones and those are the only stock parts left on the valve train (FMS 1.72 roller rockers, FMS hardend pushrods, crane 2031 cam)

i know i coulda just replaced the bad one but if im pulling the lower intake i might as well do em all and do it right (like i shoulda did when i had it apart the 1st time )

Yeah roller lifters arent like Flat tappets. You dont need to break them in.

Are the FMS lifters the same as the FRPP ones? I got my FRPP from 50resto for $119. I'm running .530" lift with no problems.

all i read about them when i replaced mine was to grease them up good when you installed them so they hade some lube on first start up. I got mine from 5.0 resto and haven't had any problems i still have stock lift and everythign but with greasing before install worked fine. Yeah should have done that the first time. I think your car liked being a slow auto lol ever sinse the swap you've had issues

With 130K miles on the original set, I think it is a good idea to replace them.
