You would have to convert to a roller cam which those kits are expensive.

Yes you could.The roller hydro conversion kits cost kind of work out to you could find a good roller block for less than it costs for the kit.Most good shops have moved to put pressure on their customers to use a roller cam engines because the lack of additives in today's oils which create flat tappet cam failures.You can use a additive during break-in of the cam,but I suggest you continue the use of a additive in every oil change through out the life of the engine.
