1992 Ford 351 Windsor
Does a 1992 351 Windsor have the raise lifter bores for roller lifters and the tapped holes to hold a lifter hold down spider? I can get this motor cheap and was wondering if i can make it a roller!
Thanks,
Gonzo

Hey.. my toes are tuff!!
The roller cam conversion kits I have seen had the linked lifters, I never thought of using OEM Ford lifters. Not sure how the spider would bolt down in a non-roller block, but that's not to say it can't be done. In any event, buying the lifters, cam and pushrods to convert a non roller motor could cost 3 times what a flat tappet cam and lifter set would,(new parts), that was my main point.

"Roller capable" 351W blocks started in 1994. Engine casting codes starting with "F4TE-". Not all of them had roller cams (IE Lightning trucks didn't) but the blocks all had the raised lifter bores and such to make installing an OEM roller cam setup straightforward.
