If you use the non roller hydraulic pushrods along with the flat tappet cam and lifters you are good to roll, I have a 340 cam in my 87 318 doing this.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

yep my 85 truck 318 had a roller block and flat cam,i swaped in a lunati roller cam with comp 901-16 springs used all stock roller gear,roller lifters,short hollow push rods.stock retainers/seals and rockers. it oils thru the PR and roller lifters and also up thru the head to the shaft mount rockers. all the tbi engines from 88 up that I have had, have oiled both ways to the rockers with roller cams. sets it right up for a magnum head swap next FYI,I thought at first oiling both ways would be to much oil up top,but the factory has done them this way and I have seen no problems with mine.

yup, you beat me...I don't know if I'd ever go back to flat tappet after running that lobe with some magnum heads....
and if he already has the stock parts, it's a wash price wise, vs. buying a flat tappet cam/lifter combo and pushrods.
