Yeah but to be more specific it's the only 351w block that doesn't need retrofit lifters to run a standard base circle hydraulic roller cam.

In non-roller blocks you can run retrofit small base circle camshafts with regular hydraulic roller lifters. However I think there are some drawbacks to the small base circle cam.

I think you can run a standard base circle solid roller camshaft with shorter solid roller lifters but I'm not 100% on that.

Roller block or not link bar lifters are better than using the spider/dogbones.
