Default SBC pushrods not spinning

On the 77 MC observed while diagnosing a miss at idle and a bog during initial light power takeoff. I'm assuming the cam is wiped. All I hear/ read about is how new cams are disintegrating left and right. Was told to "put in a roller". I'm like bull**** this is a passenger car cast pistons low compression 4800 revs max.
I'm willing to up the specs on a replacement a wee little bit but I do not want "camshaft failure" after replacing it due to "soft metal ".
Any ideas on a good flat tappet?
350 2 jet all original.
