I have them on my 64, came with the DW cam.  Lightweight, so less load 
on the camshaft.

Weight, Weight, Weight,,, Less running weight on the camshaft equals higher 
rpms and less wear on the drive train.

I've been using MGC bucket lifters in my Healey race motors for the last
20+ years. Advantages: the geometry is better than the stock pedestal
lifters - the bottom of the push rod is much closer to the cam lobe.  They
have drain back holes that the stock lifters do not. They are lighter. They
cost less than the stock pedestal lifters.

I had some custom made tubular push rods made by Smith Brothers Push Rods.
The cost is very reasonable. Less than $100 for a set. And they know the
size of the end that matches the MGC lifter and the size of the end that
matches the Austin Healey rocker.

You buy the MGC  lifters from the usual sources that sell MG engine parts.
You then have to have the push rods made by people that make push rods.  I
mentioned a good source in my previous post.  You measure the difference
between the pocket height of the stock Healey lifter and the height of the
pocket of the MGC lifter, and then you add that distance to the length of a
stock Healey push rod..... and VOILA.... you have the length for your new
push rods.
Note.....all MGC lifters are "bucket lifters".

 The cost is very reasonable. Less than $100 for a set. And they know the s=
