The lifter bores look fine, if it were my block I'd clean them up with some red scotch-brite and wd-40 to remove residual rust and dirt. Just make sure the lifters move freely in each bore.
Just my humble opinion, I’m no expert. Everyone says to go roller on the cam. I’m at the same place with my 440 build that you are. I’ve decided to go with an Isky hydraulic flat tappet with Isky lifters. Mild lift. .460 lift.Key Is I believe is seat pressure at break in. Will be using my old...
