From the factory, it has a flat tappet (non-roller) cam.

All the 351Ws came with hydraulic lifters (aka tappets) from the factory.

Before about 1994 they had flat tappets (the bottom of the tappet is simply flat, or actually very slightly convex), after this (except in Lightnings) they received roller tappets.
