Olds 455 roller cam

Hey guys I was looking at putting a roller cam in my 455. Is there anyone who sells a kit that includes everything I need, I have heard you need a cam thrust button to stop cam walk, is that true? Does my motor already have this, and if not are there holes where a thrust button will bolt on? Do i need the dog bones to hold the roller lifters straight and the spider to hold everything down? All of the kits I've found don't have the spider or dog bones, are those two pieces made for 455's or are they not needed.

Thanks, any insight is appreciated

You will need the cam button. It goes in the center of the cam.You will need to use link bar retrofit type lifters as there is no provision for "dog bone" style lifters.
