Hi, I need some help trying to figure out what is going on with my block. According to what I have read so far the 85 302 was the first year of the roller motors and is unique in that the 86 and after blocks were beefed up. I have a rebuilt 85 block from Pep Boys but it has the standard rocker arms. My casting number above the starter is E5AE with aC3B below the E5AE and a large 22 above the E5AE. When they say the block was roller can you have a roller cam and lifters with standard rockers? Or did they use earlier heads and change out the cam and lifters? I bought it as a long block with heads.. Did all the 85 and up 302,s have the 9:0:1 pistons? I need a ford tech? Help!
