The appearance hasn't changed, But the Part Numbers have along with the way the lifters are packaged! They were sold in racks of 4 with the plastic guides for around $110 per rack, Part#'s 53021726BC & 53021728BC.....Then those got superseded to part#'s 05038785AD & 05038786AD for @ $130 per rack.
Now the lifters are sold individually & the cost has skyrocketed!!!!!!!
5038787AD for Non-MDS, My cost $49.87 each
5038788AD for MDS, My cost $106.50
This also answers the question of why owner didn't want to replace all the lifters.....$1,250.96 my cost for all 16 lifters with a Retail of $1,668.00, Not that I charge full suggested retail...I do cost + 20% + tax.
FWIW, eastcoastmoparts.com comes out about $100 cheaper including shipping costs for all 16 lifters. But then you have to wait for them to come in... could help someone on a super tight budget though?
