camp swap?
ha cam swap let me edit that
Timing chain yes just good insurance. Alot of people don't change lift and they are fine. If it was my motor change a cam change lifters because they have a wear pattern to a specific lobe and when add a new lobe in the equation there will be more wear. I was always taught you can do lifters and same cam but new cam new lifters.
thats old school thinking for guys running lifters that did not have a roller bearing on them, flat tappets. Only replace the lifters if they're noisy or you notice wear on the camshaft that is not normal, when running a roller camshaft.
It may be old school thinking and not needed for roller lifters but thats the way I roll.
