Are you talking about the push rods? The Poly rods did have a slight flare on one end. Perhaps the motor was rebuilt using LA Parts and not A (Poly) parts? This can get confusing because Mopar often will call the LA an "A" in their later catalogs. Do not buy parts that state they are for a post 1967 motor, or say "also fits 340-360" those parts are LA Parts and not Poly parts.
The LA rods and A hydraulic rods are a different length than A mechanical rods, that may have caused the problems you experienced.
If you are talking about the lifters, are you meaning the lifter is hour glass shaped?
