Default New style cam in old style block

How can you fit a new style camshaft into an old style block. The new cams have a shoulder to fit inside a retainer plate which is not included in an old style block

What do you mean by "old" and "new" style blocks?

Add roller cam bearings, use a thrust plate, like on any old style SBC, just don't install the spline distributer driveshaft.
