Default Drilling Oil Galleries in Original Side-Oiler

I am debating having the oil galleries drilled in an original 1967 467 side oiler block so that it can accept hydraulic lifters. I have seen many threads on the solid lifter vs. hydraulic lifter and I think I understand the pro's/cons with that. Keith Craft is building this for me and his concern is the same as many of the post here - breaking the cam during the break-in. We are very early in this and of course I will rely on Keith's expert opinion heavily.

Any thoughts on drilling the required oil passages ? Anyone done this ? If anyone has any opinions that could help sway my decision I would appreciate. fyi - the car will be street driven only.

Thanks,
