If you were to see a H.O. motor and a non H.O. motor that was complete in a car the non HO intake faces the driver side while the HO faces the passenger side. The diameter of the lifter holes are the exact same for roller and non-roller blocks. It is the height of those holes is what you need to worry about with using a roller cam in a non roller motor. This is why you have to use a small base circle cam to convert to the usual spider plate/dogbone setup used on H.O. motors or linked lifters with a normal roller cam.

mjr46, i found this posted. that there was a HO t bird 91-93
see the posting by foxchasis. i know the guy he is well above knowledgable. i dont think hes wrong.

but i do think that cam came from a 89 which makes it non ho. i just think its a interesting fact that theres ho t birds. im sure you have ways of checking it at work. i could too but they would laugh if i asked to look it up.

not sure I'd trust a forum 100 percent on correctness, alot of misinfo out there.....however I do show a motor listing for a 302 h.o in the xr-7 cougar and 91-93 t-birds so looks as if those years do
