Talk to Mike Liston at MRL Performance. He sells a really nice drop in lifter that does not require bushings. Damned if I would do it if it ain't necessary.
As you suggested, I did give him a call. Probably one of THE nicest, and most helpful shop owner/engine builders I've ever talked to! Gave me great info about bushing or not bushing lifter bores, info I didn't know. He also gave me a lot of other great information. I will definitely be ordering his lifters, and as much of the other top end/valve train components that I can. Thank you for the recommendation! And thank you, Mike!
