Hydraulic Roller Lifters?
I have a hydraulic flat tappet cam. I was just wondering if I could use hydraulic roller lifters with that type of cam along with roller rocker arms? I was also wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of cam the 350 Blocks that GM Performance sells take? Any input would be appreciated!!!

No. Flat tappet cams take flat tappet lifters. Period. Roller rockers are OK regardless of what type of cam you are using, however.
GMPP sells quite a few different blocks. Can you be more specific?

I purchased it from Summit... Its a 1st Gen. style block so it has the 1 piece rear main seal and the 4 bolt main, the iron crank shaft, and Im unsure if it takes a the hydraulic flat tappet cam.

Cam type (hydraulic, roller, flat tappet, whatever) is not dependant upon the block. They make parts to put whatever form of SBC cam into whatever block.
