Is there still a concern of wrecking a new cam and lifters these days?

Ages ago I remember buying the ceramic lifters due to this issue, but not sure if still needed or recommended.

Buy matched cam and lifters together and you wont have a problem.

If you cann afford ceramic lifters (and can find them), I would go that route.

EMW carries these:

But at $650 for a complete set its a bit pricey

Ceramics haven't been available for years....I still have one set

I kinda like the EMW setup for reducing a bit of weight there.

Stout lifters also, never had issues on the 356,s
