That is correct, if the cam has an ORIGINAL type grind on it. The original grind had NO clearance ramps. It was of the 3 arc design. Most modern REGRINDS have clearance ramps and can be used with 1 inch diameter lifters.

If you use the large face lifters, you will be safe with either cam but will have to worry about the setting changing randomly.

This is just another one of those engine building things that if you do not get it right, you might have to do it over.
