The "best" ? Kind of a loaded question. You can spend a lot of money on a hyd roller and the good lifters are very expensive.
Or you could just stick a 2802 in her with some good lifters. But its a little bit of a crap shoot with hft cams.
But, if you take your time, do Mikes new trick where you put just the cam/lifters in dry and rotate the engine by hand making sure they all spin. Take your inner springs out and have all your ducks in a row with timing, carb and ignition making sure it fires instantly. 2500 RPM for 20 minutes you should be OK.
But there is something to be said for a roller cam where you don,t have to deal with all that.
Then there is the hyd tick deal with those. And if they fail your block could be junk.
Like I said, loaded question.
And there you have the reasons I am a solid lifter cam guy.
