'88 GTA Non-Roller OEM Engine?
Picked up some parts this weekend and the guy was going on about how fast his 350 roller engine WAS. I asked him again about his "roller" engine and he asserted it was indeed a roller motor I had to break his heart and tell him NO it is/was not. My question is did they even make the L98 non-roller on a thirdgen?

AFAIK no. The V8s were all roller; 305, 350, TPI, TBI.
Couldn't say about the 6-cyls.

Thanks, I sure know what a roller looks like. I did not know the TBIs were roller.
