Seems I recall somewhere that current design Chevy lifters don 't have as much
plunger travel as Vair lifters had.   Aluminum engines stretch more than cast
iron variants, so modern lifters designed to sit in a cast iron block built
with modern close tolerances don't need as much "leeway".    

At least this is what I remember from someone discussing todays products vs
stuff made 40 years ago.
