Engine 1974 304 lifter, and cam problem

1974 304 concave lifters, (both) in #1 hole. Pushrods are not bent, and cam pushes back when I push down on both. I didn't know to break in cam, and lifters initially. Engine has approx. 2000 miles on complete rebuild through NAPA. They farmed it out I'm sure. It runs really great on 7 cylinders, but it's an 8 cylinder. So, what to do? Replace cam, and lifters, or tear it down, and really get into some loot with that, or what? I found a block newly machined for $650, bored 0.30 over, crank 0.10 under, so would need pistons, rings, bearings for crank, and connectors etc. Crank has been ground, and cam, and bearings are in. All else is good to go. All help is appreciated.
