pat,
a few suggestions id like to make..
A ROLLER CAM !!
pick any hydraulic flat tappet cam and a comparable hydraulic roller gives more average torque under the curve.. less stress to the lobes and lifters which ultimately provides better hp... we can go on for a while about comparisons but im just making a suggestion.
also, you can reuse roller lifters for the most part. i have been raised with the practice of matching flat tappet cams & lifters. it isnt recommended to mix/match flat tappet cams and lifters. im very confident in saying most engine builders dont recommend it.
