Casting Number Question?
I have a 350 block with the casting number 14093638. I want to get a hydraulic roller cam without having to buy the retro style cam and spending an extra $500 on the mod. heres what mortec says about the block
14093638...350...87-95...2 or 4...Roller or flat tappet cam, one-piece rear seal
It is a 4 bolt main with a 1 piece rear main, so can i buy a hydraulic roller cam without having to buy different pushrods and the retro style?
Please help!

Re: Casting Number Question?
actually im pretty sure that your block is a roller block, if the lifter bores are taller and machined flat along with three raised bolt bosses for a lifter spider in the lifter galley then you wont have to "retro-fit" in a roller
???
I do know that it came with the swirl port heads out of a factory 350

A 638 block is a factory roller block.
