Alright I really do apologise for the extremely dumb question but I'm putting together a 5.0 and I am missing a few pieces. I managed to find everything except the things under the lower intake that look like an H. They go around the things the push rods sit on. I'm sure I know the name for them I just cannot think of it. Thanks in advance!

Pushrod sits on a lifter.

Lifter guide is what holds the lifters in place. Some are link style while the roller version looks like a "spider".

I have always heard them called dog bones. They are shaped like an H, they keep the lifters straight in their bore, and there is a hold down that attaches with two bolts straight down that is referred to as a spider.
