Default Lifter issues with an 07 5.3 Other Options ?

I have a friend that bought an 07 Silverado with a 5.3 and it has the lifter issue that I am now learning is fairly common on those year model motors . I have read online where people have replaced cam and lifters two or three times and still have issues with it . What I would like to know is if I can swap in a non AFM motor , like say an 05 , and just completely avoid future problems with it ? Is there any other option that will eliminate the potential of the problem coming back later ?
