The stock lifters can be used on a 741?

What gen engines are these? If I'm not mistaking though the mags where baby hyd rollers. If time for engine rebuild OT might consider replacing regardless.

Thats good to know and doesn't seem t oget talked about much. What's est peak hp in a 502-509 with that cam? 5,700/5,800? Just taking a stab at it.

The stock ZZ502 lifters were a great fit on my 525EFI cam which has identical specs to the 741. I don’t know if the base circle is different though. My lifters had very few hours on them so I reused them.

No need to reinvent the wheel. 525EFI cam works great for 502/509 builds. Comp grinds it if you can't find a Merc takeout. Your 088 heads are what needs attention and upgraded. Power is in the heads.
