i would check out the lobe on the camshaft
its just seems like there is a problem with something other than lifters

Ok,this is the Modular thread section.YOu should have posted this in the Windsor section right above this one.
Anyway.I can only assume that you have a different cam in the 347.If so,what type.And on a second note,most cams are ground out of some pretty sturdy metal and they take some of a beating.Mine sure as hell did and it was just an E-cam.I have the detroyed lifter to show for it.Cam was perfectly fine.
Sounds like you need to swap some lifters,the one probly isnt pumping up.Torque the rocker back down and wiggle the pushrod,if it has alot of movement and none of the others dont,then you have a lifter problem.

OE style lifters,or are they the original used ones.Either way all I have is ford motorsport lifters in my coupe and they are great.
