Often a sticking lifter is cause by sludge that has built up inside the lifter. If that's the case a good engine cleaner can often help, or even just add a quart of diesel fuel or kerosene to the crankcase and let it idle for a while, but if you do that, don't put any stress on the engine. Then change the oil and run it for about 300 miles and change the oil again. That CAN help some sticking lifters... but don't count on it.
Often the only option is to change the lifters and if the camshaft is pitted, you may need to change that too. If you're going that far, check everything and do a complete rebuild.

Take a pushrod and push down on the plunger in the lifter. A hydraulic lifter is spring loaded.
take off the valve cover,remove the rockers,take off the intake manifold take out the push rods,then pull out the lifter,if the lifter is mushroomed you may need to get a lifter puller

Change engine oil and substitute one of the quarts of oil with one quart of automatic transmission fluid. Run engine for 1000 miles. Change engine oil again with all oil.
The 1997 Chevrolet 350 lifter will feel springy if the wrong O-ring is installed. There could have been to all rings install, accidentally.
As long as the 350 is a fuel injected engine / TBI / Throttle Body Injection engine there is NO difference.
Pretty much any 350 Chevy engine from 1968 to 1987 will work.
