86 LB9

I saw a couple posts refer to a 86 roller block. My thoughts were that they didnt go roller until 87. The tech data on the site says the 86 is a flat tappet. I dont particulary want to pull the TPI on my car to find out until I have the new cam to put in, and I dont want to get the wrong kind.

87 was the first year for the roller cam.
