I'm not anxious to regrind a good cam if I don't need to.
Thanks, all.

The cam needs to be reground either as is or whatever you decide and no matter what, the lifters need to be refaced also.
If you decide to go cheap and not do this, the lifters absolutely need to be kept with the lobe they were running on before.
