1969-79 4 Bolt 350 block

I didn't know where else to post this question. I have a 69-79 4 bolt 350 block (ID# 3970010 K6) that I'm using to build my 383 stroker motor. I just wanted to ask if anyone knew if this block could use hydraulic roller rockers. Thanks,

Yes, it just can't use the stupid Frankenstein mess that the factory's engineering dept. sophomore intern dreamed up for his junior project. You have to use a real roller setup, like all the rest of us had been using for all those decades that went by before the factory noticed the idea, and then butchered it. It's commonly referred to as a "retorfit" setup now.
