Timing set Question

I am building up a new engine. The block is from a '92 truck, 5.7L.
It was not roller, so doing the roller retrofit for the lifters and everything. My question is do I use the timing set for the roller engines, or a standard older 350 set.

If youre using the factory roller setup, youll need the roller-style timing set. Dont forget the cam retainer between the cam timing gear and block, you may also have to tap those holes if they are not already.
