Look, as long as you're taking it apart anyway, why not have the cam reground and then put in the new lifters? I sent my cam to Delta...Great service, a week turn around and very reasonable price. Get it done and over with.

The only reason I'm hesitant to do that is because I don't see any way of doing a cam swap without pulling the engine. If I do that I fear it might not go back in and instead an LS might fall into it's place. The more I look at things the more the LS is calling me. I can swap one in for about $7k. If I sell the intake, carb, headers and exhaust I have now I figure I can get about $700 for them. That'll cover a 4L60E swap and then some. The next weak link will be the rear end so back to the junkyard for that...
I'm at a crossroads now...
I'll try pulling the lifters and cleaning them. I have a new stock set coming in anyway so I can gut and re-build with the parts from the new ones if needed.
Like I said above: they're cheap so it's not a big deal money-wise.
