I'm Awesome
Hey all, I've looked all over trying to find a definitive way to tell if my block has the roller provisions, but I can't seem to get a clear cut answer. Everything I'm finding is contradictory, people mixing up years and engines, so I'd like to check my engine for myself. It's an LO5 TBI 350 that is original to my 1994 K1500. From what I can gather, it has a flat tappet from the factory (like all truck TBI's) but some of the TBI blocks came with provisions for roller cams and lifters as cars like the Roadmaster and the police Caprices had roller TBI motors. I remember someone telling me a while ago that they stopped doing the roller provisions in mid-1993, but then there's people online saying that their 1994 or 1995 blocks have it. I'd like to check for myself, but I honestly have no idea what I'm looking for. I've only ever rebuilt one engine in my life and it was an AMC 343, so I don't think anything from that would apply to a TBI SBC haha. Anything helps, and if anyone has any pictures of what to look for, that would be perfect. Thanks.
