I also have a chirping sound in my new build. Mine sounds like it is located near the distributor. It goes away over 1200rpm, returns at idle. Morel high rpm lifters 5w30 dino oil.
I will be tearing the engine down to rectify a blown head gasket on my AFR 305 heads I bought here on OSO, so I will look at the cam and lifters.

Plugs looked OK when I pulled them last year. I'm sure they are pretty fouled now. I had a brain fart and started the motor on the hose last fall with the electric choke disconnected, so it idled real fat. It smelled rich at idle this last time I had it out, and I suspect that I may need to check my float levels. Probably need to drop it in the water to get that right, because the attitude will probably be wrong sitting on the trailer.

I've got the same noise I believe. Much more noticeable from the engine than the exhaust.July 28, 2015: https://youtu.be/QX6qU_QzkLE

Yeah. I always thought it sounded like crickets. The sound and video deteriorated quite a bit during the upload. Much more noticeable on the original.
