Were all the 85 and up engines roller cam blocks? Also were they in all the cars and trucks or was it just specific applications? Im looking to upgrade from my 78 302.

No. I don't know the particulars, but I think it was just the HO engines that were rollers, then maybe '93-up or something like that.

Mustangs got a roller cam from somewhere in the mid 80's.. not sure exact date. The 87-91 plants are THE ones to get if you do. Other cars never did unless it was a police interceptor, or one of the Lincoln coups, but these are rare. The trucks got them in 95 just before the 4.6 was introduced. Any windsor block will accept a roller cam, there is a conversion kit available. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Musta...spagenameZWDVW

I believe that all the blocks from 87 to present had the provisions for the roller cam lifter retainer drilled in the valley even though not utilized.
