In most cases either will work. but you know how you are building your engine so you should know better then I do whats best. NO!!! if you have the serial # of the cam get ahold of comp cams and they can tell you if it is a roller or flat tappit cam they are totaly diffrent cams and WILL NOT INTERCHANGE LIFTERS

What is needed to change over a 305 Chevy's engine roller cam to a hydraulic lifter flat tappet cam?
You do not want to change from a roller camshaft to a hydraulic flat tappet cam! that would be adding friction to you engine(bad plan). you can go from a flat tappet to a roller cam but no one offers a kit to erase technology, or subtract horsepower.
What year did the 350 go to hydraulic lifters?
99.9 % of all Chevy small blocks and big blocks came factory with HYDRAULIC flat tappet lifters. Starting in late 1995 Chevy went to a HYDRAULIC roller lifter. Actually, the small blocks started coming through with roller cams with the introduction of the raised-rail heads around 86 or 87. Pretty sure the big blocks went roller when they switched to the non-adjustable valvetrain around late 80's, early 90's.

Do you need new hydraulic roller lifters if you have a new cam?
Officially you should change lifters anytime you change the cam. In real world use; unless the roller lifters have obvious, visual damage, missing pins, wear on surface of the roller, then it is not normally going to be a problem. In the case of flat lifters, you should change them. The cam of flat tappet (regular) lifters, have a slight bevel to the surface of the cam. When the cam and lifter are in operation - this causes the lifters to rotate in their bore. After/during break-in, there is some wear on both surfaces and they end up with a pattern which is unique for each bore and and each cam/lifter combination. If you change either the order of the lifters on the original cam they meshed with, or install a new cam or new lifters - there is a very real chance of accelerated wear leading to failure of cam and lifter. What is worse - the resulting debris can follow the oil and ruin bearing surfaces throughout the engine. Your money, your choice.
