I feel pretty sure that a cam would really FUBAR things up in one of those. At highway cruise you'd have a 4 cyl running on a monster cam...which would probably not run very well.
I'm sure its easy to disable. All you have to do is kill the solenoids that cut oil to the special lifter bodies. That might throw a code but I'm guessing you could program it all out too.
I have no doubt there will be DOD retrofit kits to let you put normal lifters, etc. into those motors.
