When you changed lifters did you try to break the cam/lifters in again.
Sounds a lot like a cam getting wiped.
Big blocks are notorious for wiped cams.
When I removed the lifters the cam looked fine. Also it is not noisy until you drive it and it warms up . When it got to 25psi It was even noisier.
