Yes, just make sure you get the correct length pushrods.
That would be the flat tappet cam in that engine.
You do not want to change from a roller camshaft to a hydraulic flat tappet cam! that would be adding friction to you engine(bad plan). you can go from a flat tappet to a roller cam but no one offers a kit to erase technology, or subtract horsepower.
NOPE, FLAT TAPPET
If it has center hold-downs on the rocker covers, it's probably a roller cam.
To distinguish between a roller tappet cam and a flat tappet cam, examine the tappets themselves. Roller tappets have a small roller at the tip that allows for reduced friction and increased efficiency, while flat tappets have a flat surface that makes direct contact with the camshaft lobes. Additionally, roller cams typically provide better performance at higher RPMs, so checking the engine specifications can also help identify the type. Visually inspecting the tappets is the most immediate way to tell the difference.
clockwise 15426378 The rotor turns counterclockwise and the order depends on if you have an engine with a roller cam or a flat tappet cam. If it is a flat tappet cam, it is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. If you have a roller cam, it is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. You will either have an H.O. motor or not. H.O. is roller motor.
A Chevy 305 with a roller cam will have MORE power than a 305 with a flat tappet cam if both are installed in the same engine. The horsepower of any 305 depends on what all is done to the engine. Changing from flat tappet to roller will gain some. There are other ways to increase horsepower and there are other ways to increase torque.
Pretty simple....buy a retro fit cam and lifter kit. Any performance parts store sells them.
More information is required to answer this question properly. The best way is to pull the casting # off of the block. Is it a truck 350? car? year? roller? flat tappet?
The camshaft of a 350 Chevrolet engine is held in place by a retaining plate or the lifters. The retention method depends on whether the cam is a roller or flat tappet design.
In most cases either will work. but you know how you are building your engine so you should know better then I do whats best. NO!!! if you have the serial # of the cam get ahold of comp cams and they can tell you if it is a roller or flat tappit cam they are totaly diffrent cams and WILL NOT INTERCHANGE LIFTERS
Yes. The L05 (350) engine in the B-body used a hyd. roller cam, as did the L03 (305). The same code engines used in GM trucks did not come from the factory with the roller cam. Although the block has the provisions to upgrade to the roller assembly, it only came with a hyd. flat tappet cam. If you were to change one over, don't forget the pushrods (they are shorter with the roller setup).
