Default ROLLAR BLOCK
Is there a easy way to tell if a block is a rollar motor. i have the upper and lower intake off and the heads. it came out of a town car i think 87'ish. the vally has the brace to hold the lifters. but no one can give me a straight answer. thanks again

Yes....roller block... want to be 200% sure, check the casting number by the starter area..... E5xx, E6xx, E7xx+.... are all roller ready blocks.

Pull a lifter out and see if it is a roller...... Also, only roller blocks have the valley spider in place to hold the lifters in place, then the dogbones around the lifters to keep them from spinning in the bore.
