RE: Roller Engine

So its a different firing order, but I wouldn't think that would matter much if everything else but the block is from an H.O. motor.

RE: Roller Engine

its a diff firing order, the non-ho has a hydraulic flat tappet cam, the ho has a hydraulic roller lifter cam. just pop your hood and look at your intake it should say 5.0 HO or not. other then that match your vin.

RE: Roller Engine

can you swap the top end from an H.O. motor onto a non H.O. short block is the question im really asking? Assuming you change out the cam and related parts

i dont know if you can for sure or not, ive never did it, im sure its probably possible though. if you swapped out the necessary componets, the blocks are the same(i think)?
