I would get the Crane ones. They are good quality and about the cheapest. I got mine for $109 from Mustangs Unlimited.

You definately want to get good quality ones because the cheaper ones may "pump up" and collapse at higher rpm. You may just want to buy the cam and lifters as a package deal, you'll probably get a good price buying them together.
