Re: Opinions on daily driver 350 Engine Build

The sucky part about the later 80’s Gen 2 small block stuff is that in the truck world most didn’t get the roller cam love until 96, and the crate engines seem to be largely hit and miss. The blocks have the lifter tray bosses but not all are drilled and tapped. Not that it’s a huge deal it’s pretty easy to add the roller setup it wasn’t originally equipped, just a little extra work to drill and tap the bosses and some extra parts.

If you’ve got a roller block I would definitely run the roller. Flat tappet cams are pretty risky these days.
