Brent,

Ken is correct about you can run hydraulic lifters with a solid cam. I knew a guy here once who did it as he didn't want to mess with adjusting lifters all the time. He set it where the hydraulic lifters had enough clearance to work and that seemed to keep him from ever having to adjust. But I don't know if that would be good for any car that is going to turn high RPMs as he just ran his on the street and it never saw above 6,000. And I am really not sure what the advantage, if any would be. Check as Ken said and find out is the cam is mechanical or hydraulic. Since you are that far into it, it might be good to make sure the cam and lifters match.
