got no clue what he means when he says the whole motor is rollerized, but the 5.0 does have hydraulic roller lifters and roller tips on the stock rockers but they're not true roller rockers.

Hey guys stock 5.0 HO roller motors started in 85'. Roller means that it has a camshaft that will work with hydraulic roller lifters. The rocker arms are stamped steel peices, and do not have any type of roller on them. Except for the 93' cobra which did come through with roller rockers specialy made by crane cams for the motor. Any other 5.0 HO motors are 1.56 stamped steel ratio. Motorsport does sell 1.6 and 1.7 roller rocker arms though.
