If that is really a '84 block then it will be flat tappet. The first
roller cam engines were in '85, that was also the last year of a
carbureted engine.

Subject: [Tigers] What do I do now?
I assumed the 1984 5.0 Mustang engine had the roller lifters? I'll find
out when I pull the intake soon.

Is your block fitted with roller lifters? If not, then the B303 (or any
other roller cam) will not work for you...
If you don't have a roller block, then consider either changing to a
newer block or else getting one of Crane's (or others) roller lifter
cam kits for early blocks. You'll have less problems using low-additive
oils and make more power to boot.
