There are only 2 or 3 manufacturers in the world that make lifters. So when you buy them as a replacement-type lifter, even though you buy a ford racing OE lifter, you may be getting the same thing that say crane cams or comp cams would be selling you. If you go with the OE-replacement type, doesn't really matter too much who you get it from.
