I've been occasionally taking lifters out of the FE engines from the early 332/352s in 1958 up until now 2008---guess thats aprox 50 years--it can be done---

But-----if the lifter/pushrod isn't spinning the cam is flat-----the cam won't come out the top ----but the lifters can be pulled up and cam changed without removing the manifold---the engine can also be started and ran without the front cover or dampner in place---
