If Nathan doesn`t see this soon try the Small Block V8 (221, 260, 289, 5.0/302, 5.8/351W) forum: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum55/

Unless you have a 94-97 351W block in your truck you have the plain old hydraulic tappet lifters.

I got a roller motor...

At least I can win bar bets on that my engine has no rocker arms.
gotta admit thats funny.

even though a stroker 393 would obviously prove no replacement for cubic displacment. Prob if you just do mild upgrades, being a 4 barrell approx 600cfm, camshaft exhaust, etc. think that would be more reasonable and trannies would last bit longer.
