You will need to mill the area around and in between the lifter bores to flatten it out.
Most machine shops that work on pulling engines have done this. |

You can just go to a navistar truck dealer, and get the lifters, and plates, and make sure when you get your cam... use a billet, that is brand new, not a regrind. if you do that, your base circle is big enough that you don't need to have the blocked milled out... everything will work just fine like that. |

Billet cams are the most overrated and overpriced items out there. Yes some radical grinds that is the only way to go (PS), but other than that save your money and spend it elsewhere on the bottom end of the motor. On the IH side start with a new truck core and have vogel regrind and you will get an excellent cam. |
