You need to be 100% sure that there is oil pressure to each lifter.
You need to be sure that the lifters match the camshaft, the springs match, you don't have spring bind.
In addition there are engines that require the lifter bores in the block to be honed to fit the new lifters.
It isn't that uncommon that the lifter bores are too tight.
In the old days, 351c lifters were specific to the engine and not generic Ford SB lifters.
The oiling orafice is a different size.
These are all fairly unusual possibilaties but what happened to you is very unusual as well.
It is lubrication related.
