I posted on your other thread, that the casting # you need for a rolller block is E7TE. There's also a couple others that escape me at the moment. I believe one was E6SE. There's also a later 90's casting too. They're all roller blocks w/1 piece seals

im pretty sure the 90's blocks are f castings instead of e. and in all actuallity the heads will fit any 302 block and the guts to. just with the guts u have to have the right balancer and flywheel to match the guts. for instance i run 65 k code heads on my e7 short block.

As for the "guts". you can put a roller cam in a non-roller block ( as I posted on his other thread about this subject) but doing so is expensive. And also you can use a 1 piece seal crank in a 2 piece block and vice-versa, but again doing so takes the right preparations. Much easier to just get the right block to start with, there's plenty of them out there.

most all 85 up blocks are machined for roller cam if they have one installed or not is a different story. rollercams werent standard equipment till 86
