No. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that oval port (low horsepower) head motors came with hydraulic lifters and rectangular port (high horsepower) motors had solid lifters.

I ran a comp cams solid lifter camshaft with my motor and loved it. I could not afford a roller cam but I still wanted it to rev fast. I called comp cams and gave them all the information that they needed to help me pick the correct application for my motor. I highly suggest doing that unless you are going to build the motor 100% stock. They will need to know compression, intake, carb, power brakes, gears etc...
