Are all blocks roller compatible or just certain ones? This is my first experience with a BBC.
Thanks, Dave

Yes, but the gen V and V1 cams have a step on the front for a thrust plate and requires a different timing gear. You may be able to use a button, but for sure the front of the cam is different on a stock engine.

I you have a real early 396/427 make sure the rear cam bearing is a later model one.
