I can't runn the casting no. for you but if the intake is off or you can take the valve covers off you can shine a flash light down in to the lifter valley and see the lifter retainers then you will know for shure if the engine is a roller or not. Also what did the engine come out of?

he is saying it came out of a 87 IROC so it must be a roller engine right?

You say 1457 3638. I don't see numbers beyond the 1410's. Highly unlikely but for what it's worth I did find 1409 3638 which is described as: 87-92, 350 CID, 2 or 4 Bolt,
Roller or Flat Tappet, 1-piece rear main seal.
