I wasn't referring to weight with my suggestion to use 17mm bearings, more so just trying to keep the engine as efficient as possible. Not sure if it would really make much of a difference in the long run, but that extra 2mm on each bearing is a total of 8mm of extra surface that is "riding on" the crank. I'm not an engineer though so I could be way off

Solid lifters should be used on a cam larger than a 260 or 264 especially when going for high rpm.
