Ford Fe 352-428 Solid Lifters

The COMP Cams Ford FE 352–428 Solid Lifters (set of 16) are mechanical flat-tappet lifters engineered for Ford FE-series big-block engines. With a 0.875-inch outer diameter, these lifters deliver the reliable valve actuation that vintage and contemporary hot rod builders depend on when restoring or modifying classic Ford performance engines. Solid lifters require precise valve lash adjustment but offer direct rocker-arm control and repeatability that hydraulic lifters cannot match in high-RPM, high-load applications.

Each lifter in this set is manufactured to COMP Cams' specifications for dimensional accuracy and consistent contact with the cam lobe. The 0.875-inch OD is the industry standard for FE-series engines, ensuring direct bolt-in compatibility with OEM-style pushrod geometry and rocker systems. Solid lifters eliminate hydraulic lag found in conventional lifters, critical for engines running aggressive cam profiles or sustained high-RPM operation. The complete 16-piece set covers the full valve train—eight intake and eight exhaust—ready for a complete engine build or rebuild.

Ford FE-series applications range from 1958 to 1976 across the 352, 390, 427, and 428 displacements. Builders choosing solid lifters prioritize precise valve timing control and the ability to optimize lash settings for their specific cam profile and engine load. This approach is standard in competition engines, street rods, and restorations where cam selection and tune-ability are paramount. COMP Cams' solid lifters are a foundational component for anyone serious about extracting maximum performance from a classic Ford big-block platform.
