To answer the question.......yes.
You can run solid roller lifters on a hyd roller cam, but you need to run the lash quite tight.

The pushrod seat height will likely be very different between the two, so expect to need different pushrods.
 
You do know that you will have to remove the heads to get the lifters out.
So the smart route is to find a replacement lifter that is short in length so that when this happens again you can leave the heads on.
Let me know what you find as I am in the same boat as you.
I am aware of the head removal I had it apart last yr i should have replaced them then!!

I know thats what im afraid of I just replaced them last yr
 
Yes it sounds like an awesome setup. Can I ask what kind of heads you use I'm curious because most seem to want to stall out with 416 around 6,000 RPMs
My guess with a true 290 CFM the head will let it spin until the angels sing. My x heads at about 280 cfm will pull until I chicken out. Likes to shift about 6400’s solid flat tappet.

Where are you located? There is a set of Hughes P/N 5321 lifters on Craigslist in Chicago. Maybe he'll ship them. They've been listed for a few weeks. PM me if you can't find them.

I have a brand new set for sale and I'll beat Hughes price
 
Im in Grand Rapids Michigan and they are the one Hughes sells 5321 with the longer oil band for 340 blocks because of the chamfering issues in the lifter bores
I'm in Ontario how much do you want for them and will you ship
