  No, you shouldn't need to change the bearings and lifters unless they
are damaged. (Normally you would replace the lifters on a flat tappet
cam, but since the Magnums use a roller cam, they can be re-used). As
far as the bearings go, if they are bad, the engine would probably need
to be pulled to replace them anyway, so hope that they are good. :-)
(They should be OK though.)
