Lifter Failure
As long as you don't have a Super Ram, replacing the lifters is not that difficult. I just went through that when the number 8 area lifter was clicking away like a slot machine giving change. HT2148 are the one's I replace my OEM 108,000 mile one's with.
Take the old one's out, coat the new one's with some assy lube,re-install, prime the motor, re-assemble the motor and you ought to be good to go(did that sound too easy? :D )
Keep us posted. I have pics of this process if you like, e mail me.

Like everyone else has said, just put in a new set of lifters. They run about $240 for the set for the hydrualic rollers (for an LT1 at least). I have changed mine in about 4-5 hours. Worst part is cleaning on the intake surface to put the intake back on with a new gasket.

Scorp, in one of your earlier notes you mentioned a source for the 4/3 OD switch for an 85 in the shifte lever, thanks Frank

P/N
61F752 : On/Off switch for 85 : $7.79
61F753 : Momentary switch for late 86-88 $11.00
This I think will take you to the page with them, otherwise just pop in that part number up top into their search field.
