Does anyone know if a 88 305TPI from an IROC Z came with a roller cam? Or is there away to tell without taking the engine apart. Thanks Robert

I could swear ALL 86 and later small blocks had roller cams.

in 1987 Chevy stratd the 'Roller' motors. According to my research, until the Gen4 only hipo cars had rollers. I have rebuilt several motors between 85 and the gen 4 350 and the only rollers I saw were from vettes and TPI camaro's....JM.02

Thanks all. I had put the engine in a s10 4x4 balzer about 10 years ago. It has been sitting at my work for a number of years since I stopped using it. Since Hurricane katrina I have a 69 vette and a 69 camaro to rebuild, and I was looking to maybe use this one in one of them if it had a roller cam. I tried looking for the #'s on the pad but it's pretty tight in there and would need to remove to much . Thanks. robert
