is there a way i can find out if a motor is a roller cam motor with out taking stuff off [patriot]

i thought all H.O motors were roller motors as well. Hopefully someone else can confirm this????

H.0 motors use a 351 firing order, so if you trace the wires and got a 351 firing order, then you could tell if it was or roller/H.O motor?

someone?

Well even some T bird motors that aren't HO motors had roller cams.

Factory truck engines had roller cams also, and they weren't HO...

I'd bust out the flashlight and look on the sides of the shortblock. I can't recall exactly where the block part # is located. You might be cleaning the shortblock up to find it if there are leaks.

The block number is located where the starter would be but on the drivers side.

I stand corrected it's on the passengers side.

all 5.0 motors were rollers when they switched over, including the Tbirds, Cougars, Mark VIIs, trucks, and Stangs
