After finding out it was going to take some time to get some Hylift roller lifters at GTOFREEKs recommendation I started looking at other lifters. I eventually decided on the Lunati because of positive reviews on other forums. I searched eBay looking for the best price and I found a guy selling a set of Lunatis for about half the going rate from his stalled project. I can’t remember what brand he said they were but my machinist said they were the same as another brand and we’re good quality. Maybe Morel?

If they were copying Morels in 2013, you can be damn sure there's a lot more out there...

Don’t Get Ripped Off

Counterfeit auto parts are a booming business that could put you and everyone on the road around you at risk.

"The whole car, every part of the car, can be counterfeited," explained Robert C. Hutchinson, acting special agent in charge at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations Miami field office. "Our customs fraud group leads the nation in these investigations."
