I bought a rebuilt 292 with about a thousand miles or less on the rebuild.  The cam in the engine is a little too much cam to keep it a driveable street motor and I plan to change it.  When I do, would there be enough of a wear pattern on the lifters to require changing them?  Or can I get by with just installing the cam and leaving the lifters?  Thanks in advance for any help.
