Some of the F4TE castings had the roller cam, if I remember right. The only easy way to tell what cam is in one of those blocks is to pull one of the pushrods. The roller cam motors have shorter pushrods.

I know the '93-'95 Lightning 5.8 did not have a roller cam, but the block is roller ready. As far as I know, '94-'96 F150 5.8 did have a roller cam. The '94 Ford shop manual shows a roller cam.

Oh, I guess I always figured the Ligntnings had rollercams, can't really tell you why I thought that, maybe it was one of those assumptions. You know what happens when you assume!
