Why not just buy a new cam with the appropriate lifters? Regrinding a cam reduces the diameter of the base circle of the lobes and makes it difficult to get a good adjustment because the adjusting screws on the rocker arms have to be turned in too far. I've seen some rockers with the lock nuts on the underside to accomplish a deep enough adjustment. Changing the grind from hydraulic to solid would involve taking a lot of material off the cam lobes.

While he's at it, does he intend to install acetylene gas headlights, a magneto, and a hand crank for starting? Might as well take a giant leap backwards with the rest of the vehicle!
