351 roller cam? September 22, 2005, 12:01:44 PM Bane picked up a 351 out of what im guessing a 96 truck, the timing cover had an F6 part number if i remember correctly, and its indeed a roller blockquestion is, is there any info on the 351 cam? i know it uses E7TE heads, but is the cam the same as an HO, possible a bit more aggressive since its probably a truck application?

Reply #4 – September 22, 2005, 11:55:31 PM With a F6 casting no it ain't gonna be a Lightning engine, they were discontinued after '95(and all had flat tappet cams, even though the '94-'95 had a roller block). First gens also all used GT40 heads not the E7s of the reg truck engines. Whats the castin # on the block??? The roller 351 engine has a F4xxxxx. Quote Selected
