from what i've read the max lift you can go is around .480"
and what ive gathered for the stock TPI cam for your 91 is
203 INT 207 EXH .413" INT .428" EXH and 114 LSA

If you want to go past .480" and run positive valve seals than you will need to have the valve guides machined. It would also be a good time to remove the stock pressed in studs in favor of screw in ones, otherwise you risk pulling them with a high lift cam.

no you can't re-use your pushrods if going to flat tappet. You'll need "regular" length flat tappet pushrods. I don't know the # offhand.
You don't want to downgrade to a flat tappet cam though, stick with a roller. mkos suggested a good one.
