hey i just need to know if this is a roller or flat tappet



thanks

joe

 

Flat. If they were rollers, the lifters would be sticking above the block, with a dog-bone connecting each set of two lifters together so they can't spin, and then a spider plate bolted in the center of the lifter valley with fingers to hold the dog-bones in place.

 

thanks,

i have another motor that looks like that too (must be a flat also) and i was wondering if i can use the same distributor being it will have a 4brrl intake on it? (87 fuel injected 350sbc and 83 4brrl 305sbc distributor).

 

that's flat too.

 

im asuming its flat tappet because it looks the same, no spider plate or dog bones.
