Maybe, I'm not sure. I was told by others they are an old set of Morels but no way to verify that. There are no markings on them and I don't have the original box anymore. Those (the short set with the enclosed wheel) came out of a 455 I built for dad about 20 years ago? He ran that engine for about 5 years, thousands of street miles and lots of racing, up until it snapped an oil pump shaft. So we saved the cam and those lifters, they were always as quiet as a mouse.

Maybe they are Johnsons but I have no way of knowing. I do know for certain they are from Comp and came with the custom Comp hydraulic roller cam that was purchased through Kauffman.
