Good point - no oil gallery to feed the Camsavers or EDM lifters. Where oil galleries are present then, it seems like Camsaver hydraulic lifters are a good alternative to hydraulic rollers.

Not to hijack the thread, but I have a 385 series and, of course, I've seen where some people have concerns about pushrod angularity with hydraulic roller lifters. I'm still leaning toward the rollers, even though I'm likely to end up with a cam around 0.600" valve / 0.350" lobe lift and 230°/240° duration @ 0.050".
