Swapping cam from one 440 into another

[Kern Dog]

If you resurface, you are back to the start. That means a full camshaft break in.
If the lifters do rotate, I don't see any advantage in resurfacing.

As long as the lifters spin in the block, I don't think they care where they end up.
This car:

Has a Mopar Performance 280/474 cam and lifters that I bought from a guy across the country. He saved the lifters in the proper order. I put them in the original 383 that I rebuilt. It runs great!

Kern Dog you rock!

"Jigsaw" is a ratty looking car that drives great. It looks like I pulled it from sitting in an open field but it sure seems to resonate with a lot of car guys.

I have the copyright on "Ratty" ;-) As in my "Ratty Coronet" "It looks like it got pulled out of a junkyard, but it runs perfect."
