Well....you have many choices for this block. You can run the standard flat tappet hydraulic lifter like those found in millions of GM passenger cars around the world. You can also use solid flat tappet lifters designed for many small block Chevrolets in the 60s. You also have the advantage of using GM factory roller lifters if you have the rest of the roller retainer setup from a junkyard motor. (You can buy the setup brand new as well.) If running factory roller, you will have to run a special timing chain set made for this application and shorter pushrods. I wish i had part #'s in front of me but there's nothing special for these blocks. I've built both flat tappet and roller motors with them. If you're lucky you might even get one with the fuel pump rod pre drilled and/or 4 bolt mains. That's something to look for if you want to run the mechanical fuel pump. Good luck!!
I have a mitsubishi galant 2003 and the hydraulic lifters are tapping. It comes and goes. Should these be replaced? Have the lifters adjusted.

It depends, but it could be the lifters. If you have hydrolic lifters, they will lose oil when they are not run and "collapse". It will take some running time for the lifters to refill with oil (not sure how long exactly - ten minutes?). If the sound goes away after a little while, it might have been the lifters.
take off head covers fill each lifter some will be loose tighting the ones that are loose turn on motor and you will hear and see the lifters that are loose tigten the loose lifters till noise goes away
if it is a steady tick it may be your lifters,if it goes away it could be that your truck needs a tune up,if not chances are your lifters are not operating and you should get it fixed or your problem will get worse.

The grooved half goes in the block. The ungrooved half goes in the cap. The tang on the bearing has to fit into the block and cap.
Yes and they make two kinds, one that goes in the radiator hose and one that goes into the block and both will work......
