Cam Shopping

Ok I was looking for some Cam and Lifter sets and I found the one I wanted and it says this down at the bottom "Will not fit factory Ford FE solid lifter engine blocks." I'm not sure what this means.

Can someone tell me what this means so I can get a cam for my truck. If I can't use cam this what is a good cam with 110 Lobe Separation for a 390 FE.

It means certain blocks were NOT drilled for a hyd. camshaft, typically only in early to mid 60's blks. if it came with a hyd cam, you can put one back in
