Solid roller lifter choice?

No it's not tubed. This all started from another thread where everyone suggested I went solid roller with my combo...it's now turned into a rabbit hole wirlwind of new information, and hurdles to get there.
My engine is already together and assembled. Not sure if tubing can be done with the bottom half of engine Assembled. This mod is new knowledge to me and I'm just learning

Then be careful which lifter you buy. If your block isn't tubed, and the lifter body has a big cutout in it, that cutout can open to the top of the lifter bore and you lose oil pressure.

I hope that the builder at least opened up the feed holes from the oil gallery to the mains. I've seen those things that were way small...like Chrysler didn't finish drilling the hole all the way.

You have to check and verify everything at your level or you can get bit in the ***.
