The 170Pursuit engine had solid lifters im pretty sure .  I would set them around 10/12 thousands being an iron head if you can't find specs

That's exactly what I did when my xp still had a 170, generally the 170s had a solid cam and the 200s were hydraulic but I have seen solid and hydraulic in both engines
