If it's the stock motor you can look up the specs for that year; the engine code is under the consol lid with other RPO codes.

I believe '89 F-bodiy LB9 & L98 had hydraulic roller lifters with roller rockers too.

all TPI's from 87 - 92 had roller cams with hydro roller lifters..
all have standard ball/rocker arms.

Solid lifters havent really been used in factory equipment since the early 60's to the best of my knowledge.
