I got nothing on the overlap difference of the cams, the cam expert members have commented on that, I would listen to what they are saying & get the cam set right with the degree wheel & move on.
Got nothing on the noise issue either, but I said earlier on in this thread the noise wasn't caused by 4" dryer duct on the exhaust, there is not enough back pressure to cause anything you are grasping at like valve seals or exhaust seat issues. Whatever the cause, the remanufactured heads will address everything related to "reverb" since you will have fresh heads & no holes in your crossover block off.
Fix #2 piston or leave them all as is if you don't want to touch the bottom end & keep your fingers crossed, or put the pistons back to stock positions & check the rod orientation & bearings.

Mikes reply: Forget the Rhoads Lifters for now, put Humpty Dumpty back together again properly degreed this time and get on breaking in the Trans. that I rebuilt, well put, that is the way for me to go. I am trying to educate myself with the degree wheel as we speak. The Heads are still in the mechanics' hands for now.
