Maybe a natural fit there.
A long time ago saw one in a junk yard apart but that was a long time ago and maybe iam recalling incorrectly

I thought the same thing back in the 80s, the diesel block has much larger diameter lifter bores than the gas olds engines do. 1981 was the first year for the roller lifters in the 5.7 olds diesel.
We had a warranty diesel engine core in the buick service department that I was working at. I was going to remove the roller lifter from to try them in one of my Pontiacs, As soon as I removed one it was obvious that they were much larger diameter than the gas engine lifters are.
